Just to be clear, that's the point of open source *as* *originally* *envisaged*. Unfortunately, I believe there has been a campaign to devalue the meaning of open source to mean any software fro which the user gets the source code, whether there is a free licence or not. I have started using the ugly phrase free/libre software. Just for clarity. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
