The correct answer, which you will find at JdeBP> <URL:http://fsf.org./licensing/licenses/gpl- faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney>, JdeBP> as well as on Hoard's own web site at JdeBP> <URL:http://prisms.cs.umass.edu./emery/index.php? page=frequently-asked-questions-2>, JdeBP> is that one can sell a product that incorporates free JdeBP> software, such as Hoard, as long as thatproduct is JdeBP> itself free software. In other words, the product JdeBP> incorporating the code must, overall, provide users JdeBP> with the same four freedoms from the Free Software JdeBP> Definition that the incorporated code does.
AW> My assumption was that when Chris said "charge a AW> fee for a commerical product" he meant a CLOSED AW> SOURCE product, or at least one that wasn't itself GPL. That assumption, that "commercial" and "closed source" are synonyms, is _exactly_ the error that the GPL FGA is combatting. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
