Is Gnuplot really Free Software?
>From their FAQ
>(http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/faq.html#SECTION00037000000000000000):
...
Gnuplot is freeware in the sense that
you don't have to pay for it. However
it is *not* freeware in the sense that
you would be allowed to distribute a
modified version of your gnuplot freely.
...
>From their `Copyright' file:
...
Permission to modify the software is granted,
but not the right to distribute the complete
modified source code. Modifications are to
be distributed as patches to the released version.
...
Is the above limitation on the Freedom 2 acceptable?
