If you aren't happy with a license you distribute with a different license. Often a person/organization distributes under a custom license (Apache, UMN's MapServer, etc). The GPL purposely allows charging for ditribution. I personally think it is the strength. It allows a product to see commercial investment and maturity that often couldn't be achieved otherwise, but requires that maturity to be re-released to the community. That's a win-win situation, in my opinion. -Dan ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
