*RMS, FSF condemn per-seat licensing*

  *The founder of the Free Software movement is encouraging developers 
to rebel against the per-seat licensing that the "UnitedLinux" 
<http://www.linuxandmain.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=81> 
business software initiative apparently will employ in its new 
distribution.*

*The Free Software Foundation has joined in the objection.*

*In response to an inquiry from /Linux and Main/, Richard M. Stallman 
issued a statement and call to arms to Free Software developers.*

"'Licensing per seat' perverts the GNU+Linux system into something that 
respects your freedom as much as Windows," Stallman said. "They cannot 
restrict the GPL-covered programs in the system that way, because that 
would violate the GNU GPL, but the system also contains non-copylefted 
programs which are points of vulnerability. Free software developers, 
please don't let them license YOUR program per seat. Use the GNU GPL!"

N�o sei se isso � verdade, mas cobrar licen�a por m�quina para mim � o 
c�mulo do absurdo. Est� parecendo aquela est�ria da galinha dos ovos de 
ouro: est�o querendo matar a galinha para arrancar o ovo... Por que 
essas empresas n�o fazer aplicativos comerciais bons que s� rodem no 
linux e cobrem por isto ? Em vez disso ficam tentando extorquir dinheiro 
com esses esquemas furados de licen�as.

 V�o acabar contribuindo para a n�o ado��o do linux, pois pagar por 
pagar licen�as o pessoal vai ficar mesmo com a M$. A� n�s n�o vamos 
poder dizer que o custo total de propriedade do linux � menor...
