I <std-disclaimer>while supposedly having vested interest in the thus unnamed company</std-disclaimer>, would like to point that this practice - while it indeed makes some people very angry (see previous poster's e-mail) - is perfectly legal and all people who contributed source code under the GPL have also specifically and before hand agreed that their source code will be used in the company's commercial offerings under a non-open source license and so they have no one to complain to but themselves. -- Oded ::..
