In english, a question like this is quite ambiguous. That's because free means two different things: free as in freedom of speach, live free or die, or free software in the GNU sense, where the issue is the freedom you have to access and use the software. free as in free lunch, free ride, or freeware, where the issue is getting it without paying any $$$ pounds, Euro's or whatever. These are very different. Many languages have two different words (e.g. libre and gratuit in French). So when you post a request like this, make clear what you are talking about. All four kinds of software exist, free in both senses, free in neither sense, or free in one sense and not the other! -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
