One of the reasons that Trolltech gets a lot of flak - deliberately misleading people into beliveng that gpld software cannot be commercial. You can take any gpld app and sell it for what ever you please. That includes Trolltech, Suse, RH created code. You can combine gpld code with other gpld code to create new gpld code whose copyright rest with you. If you distribute this code it has to be gpld. The distros (which is akin to collection of essays in a book as opposed to the essays themselves) maybe licensed differently. So you may not copy the CD. But you can copy individual packages and make an identical cd. Ya i ran this thru a legal beagle. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
