I would not use GPL in a commercial product, but "Open Source" might still be beneficial. E.g. one can get better feedback and even bug fixes or code improvements from customers and other interested parties. It is a win-win situation. If I ran a software business (I don't currently do), I would gladly discount customers or pay anyone who help to improve my software. Open Source does not mean that software has to be free, that copyright is lost, or that copyleft is implied. Sturla -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
