According to the GPL: "The act of running the Program is not restricted" (item 0 in "Terms and Conditions") "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein." (item 6 in "Terms and Conditions") Therefore, it seems to me that you cannot license your application under the GPL *and* impose restrictions on the use of your program. > The principle reason for choosing the GPL is for revenue protection. > While we are happy for any OSI licensed application to be instrumented > with jcoverage, we do not want commercial licensed applications to be > instrumented without having purchased the commercially licensed version > of jcoverage. I don't think the GPL will allow you to do this. You should probably write your own license. -Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
