Free Linux and OpenOffice - even if your email address doesn't

As I learned to use the word, warez can't be open source, because it refers to illegal copies of commercial software (often, cracked in some way, such as removing copy-protect checks), which isn't possible for open source. But if s/warez/software/, the answer is, of course, "when you pay for it". Often part of the payment takes the form of an NDA of some kind (typically called a license agreement). The one example that comes to mind from personal experience: when I was going through my larval stage under VMS, we (an academic research lab) had the source on microfiche. Full source to the whole system, supposedly, and indeed I never found anything we had but didn't have source to, though I looked for only a very few pieces of the system. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
