Here is your confusion: "redlinedit's eBay site" is not FlightGear. It is copyrighted by redlineedit* not us, and is not licensed under the GPL. The GPL covers the software, not the page used to advertise it. Your interpretation would make *any* advertisement of GPL software illegal if it wasn't done by the copyright holder, and that's clearly non-sensical. Take a look at the ad banners on Slashdot, for example. Andy * Except, arguably, for the screenshots. But even there, I think you could make a very valid fair use argument that as long as your distribution is licensed, making screenshots for the purpose of advertising is fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
