Re: [Bug-gnupedia]External Links in New Window

I don't think we should be RedHat to our own Linux, if
you get what I mean. Certainly not yet anyway. In the
future we could create offspring projects that can
offer commercial services like ads or whatever, but
for now GNE should stay stricly free in every sense,
as with all GNU software. If OTHERS want to come along
and fiddle with it and make money, fine, but we
shouldn't (yet, if ever)!
