How to encourage people to do the right thing is an important question. Linux distributions do have a little bit of pull with the developers. It is not exactly like the developers don't get *anything* out of the transaction. They get their egos stroked and get their name in 12pt pixels on a zillion computer screens. More if they write that manpage and fill in the AUTHORS section. ;-) -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
