There's a very interesting discussion going on about GPL on legal-discuss right now, you may want to check that out. It's a morass that I don't want to have to explain to anybody. The link to the June archive is http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200706.mbox/browser I was unable to figure out how to link to a specific thread. If anybody knows how to do that, let me know. --Thilo
