Note that the FSF says that "compliance" is their number one goal. In other words, they are saying, "Bend over." This is one reason why I am very glad about the work on "un-GNUed" (but fully compatible) versions of utilities such as grep. I am looking forward to the day when I can build FreeBSD with a completely BSD-licensed toolchain. --Brett Glass At 06:36 PM 5/20/2009, Chuck Robey wrote: >I expect that one major fallout of this is going to be, a number of companies >waking up and realizing that they maybe should quit waiting for the other shoe >to drop, and take some sort of pre-emptive action.
