FT> First, there is no "free competition rule".

It's great that Steve tried to explain what <free software> is all about
now i see that my understanding of it is quite different from yours, Frank
For me <free software> means first of all freedom to compete on it,
and what i see in GPL - it does not really garantee such a freedom

But ok , this discussion should be taken elsewhere...
If you like you can enlighten me on OSI privately or redirect me
to some appropriate forum (thank you in advance)...
