In article <7401@jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV> lwall@jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV (Larry Wall) writes: But for a package like Perl, which is self-contained and doesn't trigger the so-called "virus", the GPL is close to what I want. It provides a framework of protections for everyone involved. I feel exactly the same way about my 'Freemacs' text editor (for MS-LOSS) and the 'Packet Drivers' (again, for MS-LOSS). Both are self-contained and give the contributors and I some protection from misappropriation. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
