You can build proprietary software using GPL components as long as you do not distribute *outside your company*. If it stays internal, you have no legal or moral obligation to make your source available. Yes, using BSD libraries avoids the problem, but the GPL isn't as restrictive as you're making it sound. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser "94 outdated ports on the box, 94 outdated ports.
