Woah. Wtf? The GPL states nothing about being able to use it for commercial or non-commercial use. It stipulates source code redistribution, and protection (or limiation?) of intellectual property, not limitations on use. But this is the wrong forum for such a discussion. > > The second problem is that very, very likely you'll need a Windows server in > the area for the whole shebang to work.

Nothing will stop you from using/writing your own interfaces for C#. Nothing else states that you have to use MSSQL either.

My money's on the latter, but I hope Sun sees it that way too. My money is on the C# compiler. Sun only made 'official' releases of the jdk for linux due to market pressure.
