Your assessment as to the acceptability of 'patch distribution' restrictions is absolutely incorrect with regard to the DFSG and OSI. If you have authoritative references which you are relying on to back up your assessment, cite them.
If you had read my mail, you would see that I was quoting wikipedia - that wasn't my statement, and I prefixed it by saying it was not necessarily authoratitve. Thanks for the flame though, it warmed my cockles. Jonathan. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
