Frank, Very unique interpretation of GPL... You have no requirements if you use or modify GPL software. Only if you redistribute binaries, you must redistribute source. The goal of GPL was to promote source code, not binary applications... Personally, I like linux and GPL...and freebsd... > If you use some Gnu-licensed software, you are REQUIRED, under penalty > of criminal and civil prosecution, to publish the source without cost > beyond distribution charges. It substitutes the KGB of Stalin and the > Death Camps of Hitler with the guns and powers of US Copyright law. > Anything you do with Gnu never again belongs to you. It is not a > statement of "live free or die!" it is, rather, a statement of "give to > us or the power of the state will kill/incarcerate or at least bankrupt > you with legal fees." > Marty Leisner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
