Please don't comment on this again without bothering to read the GPL faq available on gnu.org, as you're just embarrassing yourself with these ignorant comments. For the record, the assertion that 'a GPL XUL motor only allows applications to be built that are themselves open source' is completely and utterly incorrect. The GPL is only viral when in the instance that applications directly link to the source of ohter GPL software. This is explained in the license and in layman's terms in the GPL faq. -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Online @ www.charlietech.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
