Hi again...
The "hanky panky free license" that i meant was those kind where it said
that it is free but at the very bottom there it's written, in a way, the
original author of the programming language may charge license or impose
royalty (in the future)... well something like that :)
GPL is good. In fact, I wish to know the programming language that fall
under it like gcc et cetera.
Thanks.
Joe
