| There are some errors on your site
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html we would like you to fix
them ASAP!!!
Some "free software"/ Open Source advocates are actively promoting
erroneous defintions of Freeware. Please help us conteract the spread
of
the kind of FUD found on this web page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware
They are WRONG!!! WRONG!!! WRONG!!!
You maintain on your site http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html
that: "Free software is a matter of freedom, not price." We regret to
inform you that you are WRONG!!!
A group of participants in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup maintain
that Freeware
is a matter of the cost you pay (monetary and non-monetary) to use the
software. Our definition of Freeware (narrow though it) is: "Freeware:
Legally obtainable
software that you may use at no cost, monetary or otherwise, for as
long
as you wish." is the pureist definition of Freeware that's out there.
Freeware may or may not be Open Source - the terms are not mutually
exclusive. The terms "free software" and Freeware are about two
different things, Both may (or may not) apply to a given software
program.
Please use ACF's ware definition of Freeware on your web pages and/or
link to ACF's ware glossary which defines "wares" in terms of monetary
and non-monetary costs.
We in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup and www.pricelesswarehome.org are
on the frontlines of the Software Definition war. We in
alt.comp.freeware and www.pricelesswarehome.org set the standards by
which all "Official Ware Definitions" are decided. I am the group
leader of alt.comp.freeware newsgroup and www.pricelesswarehome.org and
I speak for all the members!!!
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/WareGlossary.php
All comments and questions should be posted in the alt.comp.freeware
newsgroup.

Can you say "Geez I'm stupid?" I knew you could.
And I make it a point never to "obey" people who can't even spell correctly.

www.jlaforums.com, among other sites, steals usenet newsgroup posts, and tries to
mislead the public into thinking the posts come from them. They do not. If you see this sig,
or this nic, in *any* post, the post originated in 24hoursupport.helpdesk, and jlaforums or
one of the other thieving sites has deliberately stolen and reposted it in their site forums.

The alt usenet groups do not have "leaders". Anyone can post to the
alt groups.
