Comment RDist is free with Linux (Score 4) 134

I'm the Founder/Owner/President/Primary Developer for MagniComp.

I've recently been made aware of the discussions on this site regarding the licensing terms of RDist. It came as a bit of a shock to learn about the trouble with our RDist license agreement.

I have always been a free/open software supporter and have always intended to make sure RDist was freely distributable by all like minded groups. This definetely includes all the Linux distributions both free and for-profit. The trouble is, the license agreement was originally written long before Linux rose to it's current stature.

After reviewing our RDist license agreement I can easily see where there's a problem with the Linux groups. So I have updated the RDist License Agreement to clearly state it's fine to distribute as part of any Linux distribution.

I welcome any and all feedback on this and other topics.
