I would argue that they're not, but I'm not ready to embark upon that journey, which is why I suggest that RC bugs not be filed. If someone is ready to deal with the fallout, go ahead and file RC bugs. Regardless, both issues are a case where upstream needs to be helped to understand what the licenses that they are assigning their code under actually do, and what it means for the redistributability of code under those licences.

PAM. files larger than 2 gigs. NFS over TCP. The 80's called, they want their features back. -- Compactable Dave http://www3.sympatico.ca/dcarpeneto/sco.html http://www.donarmstrong.com http://www.anylevel.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
