Yes. It probably depends on the amount of money you spend, and on what exactly you buy, but it's very possible to do so... If you don't have the right to release it under the GPL after you payed for it, it's still not free. -- Wouter Verhelst Debian GNU/Linux -- http://www.debian.org Nederlandstalige Linux-documentatie -- http://nl.linux.org "An expert can usually spot the difference between a fake charge and a full one, but there are plenty of dead experts." -- National Geographic Channel, in a documentary about large African beasts.
