I still have our email discussion between you, me and rms from June 1997 where you clearly state that you considered having wavefront sources out in the public to be so dangerious that you would seriously consider not giving wavefront releases to customers who were exercising their GPL rights and giving them to me. You specifically used the example of Stallman getting steamed that a Linux distribution released an internal version of gcc that he didn't intend for public consumption to support your position. -- Forte International, P.O.
