A recent request for information had the following statement:
Freeware/PD is fine so is $$'s.
The "$$" appears to be a request for information about possible
non-free software.
Please don't use the GNU mailing lists to give or request information
about proprietary software.
It's reasonable to discuss how to make GNU software work on a given
proprietary system, because then the GNU software is the real topic.
But if the topic goes farther afield, it is off the subject of the
mailing list as well as at odds with the purpose of the whole GNU
project.
