I have mixed feelings about Mepis. I am glad that another distro is available, but I am disturbed by the very vague licensing chosen for Mepis. As far as I can tell, some of the apps are GPLed, but others and not. In fact, I believe that some of them are not even free software at all. I was shown a email by Warren once in which he was asked what the licensing status of Mepis was, and his answer was that "free software zealots should look elswhere".
I hope that this has since changed and that we can all welcome Mepis to the free world.
