According to Carl "Mad Dog" McBride Linux is already his "product" (What a joke). OpenServer is not Linux. If I receive a confirmation from A) Linus or B) Alan then we will profer a license agreement for everyone to review and sign off on via PGP secure email. We will worry about who is no longer available. We need the core folks whose names appear as the original author in the master header of each file to sign off. They will need to certify which files are theirs and send a confirmation. This can be done, and if there is a process in place, others can come and give money as well. It's time ALL YOU GUYS got rewarded for your hard work, and not just those who positioned themselves to get fat stock options and IPO preffered stock for .com stock market Google style IPO scams. It can happen. Jeff
