A restrictive license like the one Pine is under goes against the rules that MandrakeSoft has set forth for the Mandrake Download Distribution, which is that all the packages included have to have a license as free as the GPL or more. Anything more restrictive than GPL is out of the game. Vox -- Pain is the gift of the gods, and I'm the one they chose as their messenger....
