Hi, If you have already paid to use Windows server, then it is effectively a 'free product'. However you need to be specially licensed to see the source code. You also get IIS5 with XP, but I would not recommend using that as it is not as secure. ________________________________ From: owner-or-talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Anothony Georgeo Sent: Thu 08/06/2006 12:02 To: or-talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: "SHTTPD": Windows web-server, light-weight, stand-alone and multi-platform (Unix, etc) Hi, --- Tony <Tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Windows Server 2003 already comes with IIS6 The Tor team wants 'free software' not Microsoft products. Access to source code and ability to modifity source code is one of the main legs of 'free software' and not allowed by Microsoft. Please read this page for a great definition of 'free software': <http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html> From the site: --- Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software: * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. --- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
