Hi all, This is somewhat OT but I feel folks here might have some useful pointers. I was recently reminded how much confusion exists with regard to Linux licensing (specifically the kernel here, but also other parts of the GNU system are affected). While sitting with a group of guys in a technology meeting, a reasonably smart nuclear physicist proudly piped up that Linux is of course not going to be free any more in future versions. He'd misinterpreted the Redhat position, like so many others. Thing is, I don't seem to have a reference to a really simple and straightforward website or page which dispells these kinds of myths in a clear and concise fashion, that isn't deemed politically or otherwise motivated. While the FSF website isn't always so pragmatic, their page on the use of Word documents was actually sufficient when forwarded to an HR type that they could see my point about not supporting Microsoft through electronic document distribution - we need some useful pages which just dispell these kinds of untruths without getting in to the politics of the situation.
