Gee, everyone from BP to ESR to RMS keep telling me it's about free
speech and not free beer, so why do they get so worried about selling 5
line programs :-) Yes, the AL has a loophole, but the loophole has
nothing to do with the OSS definition. And despite the fact RMS no
longer considers the AL to be a Free license, it still meets each and
every one of his definitions as well. Until you get official approval,
feel free to call it a genuine Free Software License.
