The GPL does not impose on software developers the duty to operate a web or FTP site. It is perfectly permissible under the GPL to just distribute source+binaries on a CD as this company is doing. Note that they do not interfere with the distribution rights of users who do operate sites. They seem to be in total compliance with the GPL. -- Don Marti This email brought to you [EMAIL PROTECTED] by the number 67 and the http://zgp.org/~dmarti/ operator XOR. whois DM683 Software patent reform now: http://burnallgifs.org/
