You would, huh. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not crusade-happy. I am, however, a bit exasperated by a user community that plays fast and loose with GPL advocacy when it suits them, and then jumps to Digium's defense when it is pointed out that the license isn't being applied to the standards desired by the FSF. Of course, if you don't want to discuss things rationally, just say so. Personally, I believe licensing is important for numerous reasons. To get back to the original topic, if SysMaster is violating the GPL, then by all means, they ought to be taken to the cleaners. I may have some philosophical disagreements with the GPL, and would probably be highly unlikely to license any code I wrote under the GPL, but I'll defend your right to license code under any license you so wish (even if it's "You may only use this code if your first name begins with X"), and I'm astounded that I'm being jumped all over for defending the principles behind the GPL in view of the Digium licensing model. It's gotta be a full moon. ... JG -- Joe Greco - sol.net Network Services - Milwaukee, WI - http://www.sol.net "We call it the 'one bite at the apple' rule.
