I could take a bunch of BSD modules, create a derivative work, and license the result under the GPL. Or under a proprietary license, for that matter. Of course, this is somewhat pointless, since you could do exactly the same thing with the same modules and license it under a different license. -- John Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] One art/there is/no less/no more/All things/to do/with sparks/galore --Douglas Hofstadter
