Just a dumb question: Is ActiveState(http://www.activestate.com) Violating the GPL license under which perl is released by removing the perl back-end compiler (perlcc) from their perl port, then developing a SDK (PerlDev kit) with its own back-end compiler, charging a license fee for the product and refusing to release the source code, or offer the SDK free of charge...In short, taking something from the public domain(open-source), modifying it, then close-sourcing it...?
