I have it and Netscape won't compile against it. Neither will a lot of other stuff. RMS and the rest don't accept those programs as GPL though. The FSF, Debian, and RMS personally may have an agenda that defies logic. They may have views that I don't agree with. However I can still respect them for one simple reason. They are consistent I.e. Nothing with a trace of none free stuff can be in it. End of story. The only major hypocrite is RedHat which has no qualms about MetroX, And SlackWare which at various times included DOOM and Netscape Navigator. A fanatic can be trusted, since you know what he is about. A hypocrite however may or may not sink a knife in as soon as your back is turned. -- A computer without Windows 95 and Internet Explorer is like a piece of chocolate cake without Catsup and Mustard.
