They _have_ to release their code free if they are selling their program... AFAiK, there is no problem if they sell GPL program but they have to allow access to source free. IMHO, if they don't, Free Software Foundation should sue them for breaking the license - heck, using the stupid Millinium Copyright Act!!! :-0 That would be nice for a change. BUT, on their site it says: " Lindows.com Licensing Information Lindows.com respects all applicable licensing and is proud to be a strong supporter of the Open Source community by helping to advance several Open Source initiatives. Coming soon to this page will be information, links and resources for obtaining source code and licensing information for any applicable software. " - Adam
