Now you're talking. The original wording of the post didn't exclude commercial software.
I completly agree with you, things would be much simpler in the open source world without having to worry about if you can do what you're trying to do with the software.
I find it interesting that it took a relitivly large amout of time to finalize the 2.4.0 release, and now here we are around 2 months after the release and we already have 2.4.2.
Makes you wonder what linus was doing in those days leading up to the 2.4.0 launch;-)
That sure would make things a heck of a lot simpler, although its never going to happen. The number one reason is because sometimes people want to get compensated for the work they did. Without a license, all it takes is one person to buy the software and then give it to all their friends because they can "use the software as they see fit"
The problem is that everyone and their brother is comming up with brand new software license and its becomming hard to keep track of all of the licenses
They should have a general overview on the web pag

Looking at the web page, I find it hard to tell if it was a realy small PC or a laptop like device =)
My suggestion to them is to clairify this (espicaly when they have a picture of the device in the palm of someones hand with the words "DESK TOP POWER IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND" under it =) )
Would that use the conventional notebook style battery or is the case too small for that? If it is too small, would the battery life be too short for the unit to be useful?
But there must have been some open source project before linux. Someone must have come up with this idea before. I wonder what the first open source project actualy was...

You don't have to wait for the next point release...grab a nightly :)
Lets see if this gets moderated down to -1 too...
Frankly, what I find in this thread is disgusting. I don't think any moderator would spend this many points on one thread...
Thanks for the laughs and the wonderfull books. Never will there be someone who replaces you in our hearts. My best wishes to the family.
So its ok to collect kids personal information...but everyone goes crazy when you collect information on adults? Thats not right.
and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt On sale today, for only $19.95 (Get one before you're gone!)
Ahh...yes. I forgot about that. Apparently that strategy worked.

Does anyone realy care what the FSF thinks anyway? Apple realy dosen't need their approval for this new liscence do they?

Ahh, when I think of portable, I think of the use-anywhere style of a laptop. hmmm

I see your point...Imagine playing a FPS in an arcade and depositing 25 cents every time you got killed ;-)
