1) There ought to be a mailbox so things like this can be sent to it, and handled in due time by an official FSF person, rather than posted. 2) There should be a largely repetitive monthly posting, a) Summarizing the charter b) Reminding us all (briefly) to behave. It would be a good opportunity to (gently and without naming names) point out recent postings not considered appropriate. c) Answering the questions most raised, authoritatively, even the dumb ones. Especially the dumb ones. Example: Can I take code compiled by Gcc and make it proprietary? Answer(?): Yes, but only if it is not linked with any of the GNU libraries. d) Giving the references for the materials on the copyleft, in an attempt to forstall dumb questions. -- Jeffrey Kegler, Independent UNIX Consultant, Algorists, Inc. jeffrey@algor2.ALGORISTS.COM or uunet!algor2!jeffrey 1762 Wainwright DR, Reston VA 22090
