First of all, I would like to thank-you, kitakura, for updating us on your project and clarifying any assumptions that I made based on what little information I interpreted from various websites. TY :-) I offer my apologies for any false information/assumptions that I may have made!

So, the only closed-source code is some form of VPN application that your distribution is using.... that is not easy to work around either!

Are you using Bering and/or Dachstein IDE code for "sale-only" products that do not have open code equivilents (ie... floppy-only free offerings) or planning to use Bering linuxrc code in something closed-source? I personally have reservations about these possibilities, when it is not 100% personal code in the particular application (not to reflect on any other developer with this opinion). I guess what I am getting at is this: How would you feel if I modified Webadmin.lrp and release it as a closed-source commercial offering? I not saying that this is what is being done... but rather looking at what _could_ happen at some point in the future. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
