Actually, if you want your project to be an official GNU project (IIRC), you have to transfer your copyrights over to the FSF. So unfortunately, that part actually breaks your usage policy since GPL depends on the work not being in public domain. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
