Not for the outright abolishment of >copyright, just simply for a new "copyright deal". Not true at all. In that essay, Stallman says that if users want to do ANYTHING that is prohibited by copyright laws, the prohiibition should be removed. This would amount to abolishing copyright altogether, which is what Stallman has always stated that he wants. This is no compromise. It is the equivalent of saying, "Sure, we'll compromise, and here are our terms: unconditional surrender." This is "compromise" a la Yasser Arafat. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
