Then I propose the creation of another list for license issues. Perhaps, ``plan9-license-flames'' would be a good name. > would you rather hold the discussion on slashdot? :-] Well, yes, since I don't read slashdot, and therefore wouldn't be distracted by it. :-) I'd just rather not be a party to the discussion at all. The current license is sufficiently liberal for my tastes, the OSI-approved license seems fine for most other people, and it's a subject that's been beaten to death, time and again. Theo just seems upset because he believes he can't use the compilers in his ersatz version of BSD Unix. Frankly, I don't care. - Dan C.
