It makes the GNU Project as a whole more successful and thus more influential. 2. Encouraging the success of a DVCS that allows GPLv3, over one that doesn't, promotes GPLv3. There are probably other reasons that don't come to me at the moment. We would take the same stand on the Hurd vs Linux, if the Hurd were as usable as Bzr is. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
