Debian's "free stuff" is still copyrighted, same as everything else. What makes it Free is an accompanying license which grants an individual freedom to use the item in question (software, logo, etc) under certain conditions. So, if software or a logo is taken and used without permission (only granted if the license is adhered to) it is effectivly stolen. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
