| 55 | Dear Jordi, Paul, Simon, |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | I have no objection either, and agrees with whatever Paul decides. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | BTW, I just attended a lecture by Richard Stallman yesterday. I know next |
|---|
| 60 | to nothing about DRM and software licenses but after listening Richard, |
|---|
| 61 | my understanding is that a "free" program (in terms of GNU philosophy) |
|---|
| 62 | is indeed a program that includes some kind of viral licence (so that |
|---|
| 63 | programs derived from a "free" program must remain 100% "free", and so on). |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | Therefore I am confused with the following sentences : |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | > The specific problem is that you do not allow modifications of your code fo |
|---|
| 68 | r |
|---|
| 69 | > commercial purposes, which according to the DFSG, makes your code |
|---|
| 70 | > non-free. |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | Not that I insist on any kind of license, but it looks like I missed |
|---|
| 73 | something :-) |
|---|
| 74 | |
|---|

|---|
