Indeed. RMS used to charge $300 for tapes of emacs source, to cover
distribution costs. Of course, you could just have gotten a copy of the
tape off someone he'd previously given one to...
Don't worry people. We're a company of Linux geeks...we know our way
around the GPL. And, hopefully as soon as we get a little bigger, we'll be
able to release more & more stuff we've done back to the community.
