You said "provided free of charge." The GPL says "licensed free of charge." See the difference? We are talking about whether you can sell a copy of a GPL program. You can charge for providing a copy. You can't charge for licensing it--the license is automatic. Ian -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
