That may have been true 30 years ago when a compiler license cost thousands. If a person has write access to your system, they can just copy a compiler binary over.
Debian maintainers have worked very hard to make OO work with free java implementations such as Kaffe. So the Debian version of OO uses 100% free software.
You should drop by the University of Missouri - Rolla sometime. They have a operating research reactor. It might not be on par with the German's but they can sure make it glow pretty.:)
This program is pretty much useless so long as it depends on the java vm which is non-free and closed source. You can only be as secure and anonymous as Sun wants you to be.
More importantly to me is that this is free software which requires a big ugly chuck of non-free software to run. Java sucks because there are no good and free implementations. Freenet hasn't worked with a free implementation in a looong time.
There is no Debian project which uses the solaris kernel.(yet) There are a few third-party projects, but they are no more Debian than Ubuntu is. There is a large group within the Debian project which doesn't believe the opensolaris license to be free according to the Debian free software guidelines, unless this assessment is changed or solaris is relicensed it can never be a part of Debian.
Just because our economy is dependent on something, does not make it right. If our economy was based on baby mulching I would still be strongly opposed to it.
Maybe we could base our economy on, I don't know, making something or providing a useful service.
Even if software patents did not exist and copyright terms were limited (inf) it would still allow artists to live off of their works.
You cannot "break" the gpl. It is a license, not a contract. If you do not agree to it or violate it's terms, you have no license to use the software or make derivative works. If that occurs it is simple copyright infringement.
It might be worth paying for. But "free" has nothing to do with price. Free software means to have full access to the source and the ability to use, modify, distribute, etc that software.

The cycle of moving from a central processor to specialized ones and back has been seen before. Could this be a sign of this type of change? From the jargon file: http://www.outpost9.com/reference/jargon/jargon_18 .html#TAG411

Hurrah! Ignore GP.

Grammer nazi says, "think differently".
It was designed of inter-satellite communication because at that frequency(60ghz) the waves are absorbed by oxygen.
I believe that mysql sells support.
It was Newton who first said that, and he meant it as a cruel joke against a short man.

Nope, CentOS(!?)

The last country to use the Julian calendar was Imperial Russia. I'm pretty sure it will use the gregorian.
Nope, lbs and kg are incomparable. kg is a unit of mass and lbs is a unit of force.
except your freedom.Most of the things you listed are not free software.
It doesn't matter what the majority of people believe. That doesn't make it science.
Power is the electromotive force, measured in volts. More power means more volts.

Software freedom is not the same as the price of a doctors services or of electronics.
