There seem to be a missconception about Free Software.
For something to be Free Software you have to grant
everybody the freedom to use, copy, modify and republish the
software.
Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

If you do not give out the source, it is not Free Software.
Consequently it does not qualify in my understanding.

Hi,

I am a member of The Classic Amiga Preservation 
Society (or CAPS - http://www.caps-project.org) and we 
need a mailing list facilty for out project.

We do have a software side (disk dumping tools, 
analyser tools etc. which *is* free software), but we 
are not going to make it open source until we 
standardise CAPS as *the* format for preserving Amiga 
orginal game disk images.

Do we qualify to use your services?

Thanks!
