Try one >of the biz.* groups... I STRONGLY disagree. They are looking for funds to port GNU software to a new OS platform. The GNU license allows fees for consulting work on FSF programs all long as the end product stays covered under the GNU license. The posting was within both the letter and the spirt of the GNU license, the FSF itself asks for money to do exactly the same thing... Now depending on how many people find this consulting arrangement to suit their needs Cygnus will make money or lose money. If they sign a contract with anyone they will be bound to finish the consulting work under the conditions of the contract (and applicable state and possibly federal laws.) I wish them luck. -- Frederick Staats fritz@scipp.UCSC.EDU -- (408) 459-3575 Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics University of California at Santa Cruz
