My guess is that the FSF would welcome a law that said all software should be released with a copyleft license. The FSF would welcome a legal requirement to make all software free but does not advocate one now. It would be too drastic a change for the current situation. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
