Yes. There is nothing in the GPL which forbids making money off GPL'd software, in fact some of the biggest companies in the IT industry do it(IBM, RedHat, Solaris, HP, etc, etc). The key is making sure they stick to the other clauses in the license(such as Source Code Availability, etc,etc). -- James Purser Producer/Presenter - Linux Australia Update http://james.k-sit.com - My Blog http://k-sit.com - My IT Consultancy http://localfoss.org - LA Update Podcast, LUG Roundup and more Skype: purserj1977 SIP: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
