Now that I look at the GPL v2 it does seem to allow you to steal the software. My bad. I may have been thinking of the older version of the GPL.
Of course you can use whatever license you want for software that you write. -----Original Message----- From: David Andrews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 9:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Anyone Nagios?

(What next, dogs and cats sleeping together?) The GPL specifically disallows any additional redistribution restrictions. Recipients have the explicit right to redistribute, and may not impose additional restrictions on *their* recipients. Jay is right insofar that -- practically speaking -- you can only sell your code for more than your distribution cost one time. Eventually somebody like CheapBytes will come along and redistribute your GPLed code for next to nothing. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
