http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/32406.html <quote> We're probably talking about a free-standing security update system here, nothing to do with Windows Update, nothing to do with shotgun licence changes and nothing to with Microsoft's financial security. And - here's a novel one - it ought to be accompanied by a sort of green kryptonite licence, where rather than establishing its rights over you and the software it turns out you only thought you bought, Microsoft establishes rights for, and makes guarantees to, you. </quote> Yes, of course: apt-get. green kryptonite licence -> GKL -> not a million alphabetical miles from GPL. If it really has nothing to do with Windows Update, wouldn't that also mean opening the source code to a third party? Sounds great, when will BG put kernel32.dll.src.tar.gz on sourceforge?! (And would anyone be willing to beta test it!?) :-)) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
