Z:gnu-www-ja-award-1999--d1e708-Any kind of activity could be/en

Any kind of activity could be eligible&mdash;writing software, writing documentation, publishing CDs, even journalism&mdash;but whatever the activity, we want to recognize long-term central contributions to the development of the world of free software. &ldquo;Accord with the spirit&rdquo; means, for example, that software, manuals or collections of them (on tape or CD) must be entirely free. (Once again, that's free as in freedom; see our philosophy on selling free software.) Work done commercially is eligible, but we want to give awards to individuals, not companies.
