Hi Greg,
Thanks for the feedback. But I am still somewhat puzzled because:
It seems like the source for Enterprise Server is not available for anonymous download.
Patches for Enterprise Server do not appear to be available for anonymous download.
So do I have to "request" the media or what? Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place?
Without wishing to be pedantic, I think RMS would take exception to OpenSource and GPL being mentioned in the same sentance!
Kind regards,
Simon

| It is only non-GPLed code (i.e. like Yast) where anyone can restrict source access.
|
| If your curious about source availability, the GPL is very strict.
|
| Internal changes for internal use can be proprietary, but once you ship the executable to external users, you MUST provide access to the source under its own GPL license.

| BTW: In my opinion, the most significant single achievement of the OpenSource effort is the GPL and its acceptance.
