The problem with the GNU GPL is that it is so confusing that the people making decisions are leery of using Open Source code because they can't determine positively what the impact, if any, could be to their business. Some of this is due to confusion and misunderstanding of the GPL, but that's really the point. -- Moshe Goldfarb Collector of soaps from around the globe.
