My Inbox Happily Received This From Hany Hamed @ Mon, 23 Sep 2002 18:35:41 +0100 (BST) > > > Free means free > Stop talking like MS men, or leave Linux > and join them for money if you want it > OOOOOFFFFFFF Alaa is a Microsoft man ???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a snip from the GPL 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. the idea here is the SOURCE code not the fee, you can write an open source program and sell it. but as soon as i get a hand on a copy, nothing prevents me from putting the copy on the net with 0 price for anyone to download "check the GPL FAQ" for example: Arabeyes can sell CDs carrying the source+binary "you must distribute the source" of any or ALL the projects hosted by them. and that's their rights ;) -- ---------------- -- Katoob Main Developer Linux registered user # 224950 ICQ # 58475622 With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibilities.
