I've got Herr Bonehead killfiled, but I happened to see this response to it. He's asserting an "illegal copyright license"; is he actually suggesting that the GPL results in some sort of illegality? That if I use GPL'd code in my own app, I'm somehow stealing something from the original writer? Is he unaware that the original developer _chose_ to release it as GPL, knowing full well it would be re-used in other applications? Or is this some other argument? _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
