Debian is free as in "freedom", not as in "no cost". Users have the right to use, modify, and distribute the software (including a modified version). This is guaranteed in the terms of the licenses of the software. Yes, you can use Debian as a base OS for your product without paying a royalty to Debian - as long as you do not violate the licenses of any of the software you distribute with your product. Of course, donations to Debian are always welcome. Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
