Fwd: Re: Great recent Unix software

Hi all,

I apologise for forwarding my reply to Teh Entar-Nick to the list and thus 
breaking the thread, but I replied to the list while CCing him by accident 
(which is normally what I want to do in lists with a policy that's not as 
pedantic), and my message was held for approval by a moderator.

This is basically another "GPL, BSD, and why can't we all be friends" E-mail, 
but people may still find it insightful.

Regards and sorry again,

	Shlomi Fish

[Possibly good tmux advice snipped]

1.  Nick knows a great deal more about licensing than you do.

2.  I am shocked, shocked.  What's next, gambling in casinos?

OK, I lost too much context. Please try to be more methodical next times - I 
thought if you asked if I had a B.A. in law. Here's the more complete one:

In any case, in Israel one can become a qualified attorney with only a B.A. in 
law, though you may need to pass a test and register here:
