Arachne has GPL license so you can force WebSpyder/Lineo to
make their Arachne modifications public.
No, them have purchased a proprietary license from the copyright holders
(original developers). GPL doesn't surrender rights. It's dual licensing
like with Qt.
Additionally Arachne wasn't GPLed when Michael Polak sold the code to
Caldera (who released DR-Webspyder) or Suntech. Orignally if you wanted
to get a hold of the source code you would need to sign a NDA and sent
it to Michael. I did so after I told Michael I had copied his code (I
still have an account at arachne.cz BTW), which influenced him to later
release it as GPL.
