Hi,
> KDE is NOT free software! GNOME/HELIX IS!
I completely disagree. So does ESR, for that matter. KDE does meet the
Open Source definition, and I happen to accept ESR's opinion on it.
Now, if you are saying the LGPL is not "Free" as defined by Richard
Sta1lman, then perhaps you are correct. The fact that I often disagree with
his point of view may have something to do with how I am willing to define
what software is commercial and what is free/Open Source.
I have played with Gnome repeatedly. I am still left feeling that it is
bloated, somewhat buggy, and generally not impressive when compared with
KDE, but that is *my* opinion.
Please, though, do not presume to tell me what is and is not free. I have
yet to pay for KDE, I may distribute it as I see fit, I may modify it, and
so long as I don't use the code to create a closed/commercial product, I may
distribute my modifications as well. That's free enough for me.
Regards,
Caity
