That and the default GPL allows future versions to apply, and some people may object to the *proposed* gpl 3 which states that certain corporations are required to pay money if they use gpl code. While you can opt out of future versions with GPL that is normally not the default way people do it. I just wonder who gets paid if the *proposed* gpl 3 happens. My bet is the FSF and not the author of the code or any of the copyright holders. But that is just a guess. After all it was stallman who sold tapes of emacs for $150 because he didnt have a job, it was stallman who formed the FSF to solicit money becuase people got internet access and stopped paying $150 for a tape with emacs on it. My guess is that this is just another revenue machine disguised as helping others. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com
