	Just a nitpick, but their really is no difference (if you go by the 
two official definitions) between Free Software and Open Source, as 
such. The organizations are different, but the definitions are almost 
word for word the same in some places. Google for my article "Mere Open 
Source" for more information. :-)

	Sorry to be nitpicky on such an excellent response.
