RMS and I wrestled with the Mozilla Foundation on the issue of getting them to build free software versions of Firefox. I need to check back through my notes, but they did offer a nightly build that came without logos or branding and was licensed under the MPL/GPL/LGPL. If someone is willing to work on a way we could offer builds of Firefox stable without any branding, and a focus on freedom, I'm sure we'd like to get things running again. matt -- Matt Lee Chief Webmaster, GNU Project - http://www.gnu.org/ - Free as in Freedom Free Software Foundation - Free Software, Free Society - http://www.fsf.org/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
