The other respondents to this are right that software behavor can't violate
the DFSG, only licenses can, and GREED is under the GPL. If there were a
block, you'd be Free to remove it, so it's Free software. However, the
inability to download from ftp.microsoft.com isn't a block, it's a bug:
Question?: Why won't greed let me download files from
ftp.microsoft.com?
Answer!: Truthfully, I have no idea... it logically doesn't
make any sense... I've logged into thier server before to
see if they do anything abnormal, but unfortunately they
don't... If anyone has any suggestions on this matter, please
e-mail me ;)
If you could get rid of the block, I'm certian he'd love it.
