[Tfug] Is Panther considered a Free Unix?

[Anthony Hess]

Darwin could be considered such, unless you are RMS ...

On the other hand I don't think anyone could consider Panther to be a Free
Unix.  The whole thing isn't open source, it can't be redistributed without
permission, and it costs money.  So its not free in terms of beer or speech.

Of course I think the security issues might be Darwin ones, so that¹s a
little trickier,
