As was discussed recently here <a href="http://business.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/11/09/2044220&tid=35&tid=136&tid=130" title="newsforge.com">http://business.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/1<nobr>1<wbr></nobr> /09/2044220&tid=35&tid=136&tid=130</a newsforge.com>
Mepis is not free software at all. For more info, read this:

(in the second URL, read posts 10 and after)

Hopefully one day Warren, the Mepis creator and maintainer, will come clean and fully release his distro under free licenses, and we should encourage him to do so, but for the time being: STAY AWAY!
