So what's the "Nope" for? That's exactly what I said, right? Unless I provide some value-addition over the base software, nobody'd buy it off me paying $$$ when the same stuff is available elsewhere for free, right? I didn't say the license *prohibited* anyone from selling, only that it discourages it by making it not viable, right? Binand -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
