Here is the context: There is some code (an advanced firewall) whose author is Mandrakesoft. They dual-license it under both the GPL and the other license that was mentioned. The GPL version is still free, but you get extra support (and possibly other benefits) for the other one, but you have to pay. So, nothing out of the ordinary: if you are the author, you can dual-license the code as you see fit. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
