A better way of looking at it is: Printers may come with PostScript interpreters. GhostScript can generate the PostScript to send to them.

The situation you describe (first releasing under a non-free licence) no longer exists. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
