Let's get some facts straight first: SuSE, TurboLinux, Caldera and Conectiva (not Mandrake) recently annonced UnitedLinux: http://unitedlinux.com There are still many unclear things about this new "distribution". >From what I understand this is going to be a "core" of a distribution, rather than a complete distribution. Each of the four companies will "add value" to its version and market it seperately. Currently Caldera licenses its OpenLinux distribution in a per-seat license, and there were some hints that this would be the chosen (or preffered?) license for the new "distribution". This got RMS very upset, and hence his remarks. RMS here is in his usual role of a watchdog. It is possible that he is barking too soon, though. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
