 The thing is, none direction wants to be played in that webpage,
because there is essential no reason to do so.  And there _are_ links to
both the OSI definition of open source and to the FSF definition to free
software in that very paragraph you were quoting.  I thought there
weren't and that would make your report at least partly sensible, but
now that I notice that the links are there I am not really sure what
your problem is....

 So, the only thing left in your report that needs to be addressed is
the "As will become clear in the discussion below" and what it is/was
refering to. Like said, I'll try to track that down.

 From a quick look now (because you seem to be impatient, and I'm having
networking problems currently anyway) it seems that the discussion below
is neither directly addressing the free software or open source words,
but discussing both of the definitions.  I personally don't see the real
need to throw in the parts below the words free software and open source
all around.  If you have any real suggestion I guess a patch would be
much more descriptive of what you want to have, because I don't have any
clue anymore, sorry.

 So long,
Alfie

The theory is that since we haven't set a date for sarge's release yet, it
can't possibly be late, and that therefore adding more people will make it
release sooner. Or was it that one about many cooks? No, no, many _hands_.
Yes, that was it.  -- Anthony Towns, <20030307181306.GB6621@azure.humbug.org.au>
