Sorry, this doesn't fly. This would be "GPL with added restriction", and that contradicts the GPL and is, thus, unlawful. GPL'ed software can *of course* be distributed commercially (i.e. sold). It doesn't need to be allowed explicitly, nor can it be forbidden. Or it isn't GPL. Nothing wrong with selling fgfs fore *one* *billion* *dollars*. Or ARToolKit. MB probably mistakes "commercial" for "closed". He can double/triple/... license his code, so that under one of the licenses distribution of modified versions without source code would be allowed. Trolltech is doing that with Qt. But being a Groklaw reader, you probably knew that. :-) m. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
