No, the GNU GPL grants you the rights to 0. run it for any purpose 1. study & modify it 2. reditribution of pristine copies 3. redistribution of derivatives All this just like the BSD. However, unlike the BSD, it does so in a reciprocal level: if you redistribute in the conditions of 2. or 3. you must license it under these (the GNU GPL's) terms. > BTW, if satisfying requires in GPL would imply satisfaction of BSDL anyway, > no? It's closer to include than imply, if you want to use these terms, since satisfying the BSDL means allowing proprietary derivatives, which the GPL aims to forbid. Rui -- Kallisti!
