Why is it necessary to hold the copyright? You'd only need license from the patent holders for encumbered algorithms. The source you compile and distribute in binary form, as long as it allows the distribution of binaries, as long as it's a free (libre) license, can't stop you, as long as you publish any modifications to the source that were involved in producing those binaries. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
