I am sorry but the home page talks of the source code being available
for UNIX/Linux, I realised that it wasn't 'Free Software' by the unusual
comments regarding the license.

If I have understood the home page correctly and got my own
understanding of 'Open Source' vs 'Free Software' it could be considered
the former and please Mr. Raymond but is not 'Free Software' and
therefore not please Mr. Stallman.  Is this right or am I once more
barking completely up the wrong tree at squirrels long since gone?

Peace Jim
