Re: [Linux-aus] LACCTE grant - DarLUG - thanks to everyone for your support

Ooops ....
Just to make clear the terminology "free software" is not what we are

We'll find a way to make it clear what it is we are offering and convey

Phew .... narrowly averted ideological flame war <grin>

Regards Anthony.
