Obviously our vantage points differ. I quote from a recent post in the VMS newsgroup where the meaning of "The Freeware" is considered to be known by all. There may be licensing restrictions on some elements (probably due to the advent of GCC), but very little on those CD-ROMs comes without source. The citation is for an FTP mirror of the discs from two years ago.
