Hm, well,... I read to Peter Meijer, ( Peter.B.L.]Meijer[at]philips.com ), of course asking about the license; and I think it's best to forget that it becomes gnu/gpl: in his mind free is gratis, while for me free = FREEDOM = gnu/gpl. But of course if I'm not the one and only to ask about it, well then maybe he can change his mind, or explain why he doesn't. For me the point is quite simple: any refusal of publishing the sources of disability or blindness related soft, is equival to discriminating people, if we base this point of vue on the ADA american disability act. But in Europe no any efforts have been done in such legal aspects and nobody can expressely ask for a code, even if the aim is to help people on non commercial ways. I also think taht people who doesn't publish the code, is intended to make people pay for his product, even if at this moment it is free (as freeware but not as freedom). ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Osvaldo La Rosa ~~ http://www.brlspeak.net ~~ GNU/Linux? 2B FREE ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ No individual should be discriminated against on the basis of ~~ ~~ disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, ~~ ~~ facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of ~~ ~~ public accommodation (American Disability Act - 42.
