They have Open Source software, not Free Software. Here, the difference is of paramount significance: They have the source of the software written for them (either by internal people or by external companies), but it doesn't mean that it is software distributed for everyone's use. It may be (and most likely usually is) software written specifically for the army's use. Alternatively, it may be commercially-distributed software that the army bought a source-license for. -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Jul 4 2002, 24 Tammuz 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog http://nadav.harel.org.il |vendor?
