> Yes sir! :) Pretty much Tom Horsely answered the thread much better than I
did. I referred the OP to Mauriat Miranda's page where the
advise is to do
the same as what Tom mentioned

> On a laptop in which one has both a wired network and a wireless network
(that works) it is fine to have NetworkManager. Although it is
a pain when
dealing with protected networks. Sometimes one has to retype
the password(s)
to known networks.

> IANAL, even the ones that are can tell that the licensing is a very
complicated issue. I have been in those discussions because I
have questions
myself. In many ways it is an excellent license, but it does
have certain
clauses that in certain situations, you must comply with it or
you can get
into trouble. This has happened to companies who have abused
the system and
to individuals for not complying in some way.

Eventually those long threads will appear and it will be
difficult not to to
see them. There were the KDE4 ones, not too long ago.
Eventually things got
settled :) This is nature of the list. We have to be prepared
for everything.
I will also repeat one thing that does justice to the list
members. Many
are very nice and helpful people that give proper advice and are
very
knowledgeable in Fedora and other Linuxes with GNU also included.
It is a
priviledge to learn from many great people :)
