Nope. It says "similar in spirit", which is much weaker to me. Certainly it's also not a major stretch to claim that a license which says "if you use this program as part of your webpage, you must make source available" is "similar in spirit", since the "spirit" of the GPL is making source available and reusable. (Of course, there are plenty of potential restrictions in that "spirit" that go too far and aren't free.) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
