"MandrakeSoft has taken a step away from the open-source philosophy, changing license terms for a Linux-based firewall so customers that want product support may no longer install the software on as many computers as they wish."
Nonsense, this is a support contract issue, not a licensing issue, Mandrake will now only offer support on a single machine. It hardly represent moving away from open source. United Linux support contracts also only apply to a single machine unless you pay extra IIRC. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).
