As long as you do not use any code from the GIMP, you have every legal right to do so. But if you use code that is copyrighted, say by linking or otherwise, then you do not have this right. And this does not just relate to the GPL. I agree with you. Two fools agreeing to jump from a cliff, will not make them smarter. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
