Matt makes a good point in that message -- one that, incidentally, I have made many times in other forums. But good advocacy must go further. To advocate the use of the BSDs relative to other products requires that one point out their advantages -- and one key advantage of them is their freedom from the viral, business-hostile, programmer-hostile terms of the GPL. Such advocacy is especially important right now, at a time when the press is portraying Microsoft and the GPL as if they were the only two alternatives. The BSDs represent one that's much better than either. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
