The copyright, because for commercial use, interested
people/enterrises had should contact me for a licence.
And I think, M$ and Friends have stolen much more sources as
publicated and nobody can enforce her/his right, because it
is Closed Source Software where you do not know anything about
it. :-(
See SCO!
I have found source code of SCO in Linux and Linux code in
SCO, BUT it is OpenSCO and this part was GPLed. I have the
OpenSCO CD's at home, and I know what I am talking about.
But SCO tell us, there is stolen Source-Code! The Judges in
the USA have never seen the SCO-Source in original and now ?
I am using ONLY "main" from Debian and all new software of
me is GPL. Never I will go back to prprietary software.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux sind 03/1999 and I will use it
for the rest of my life.
Thanks to all Developpers and Contributors (I am helping
discretly some Upstreams, DD and DM and I will continue)
for developing this GREAT and FREE Operating System.
Greetings
Michelle
