[snip] trust? you trust someone when it comes to software? sandip, you sound like a newbie. hehehehehehee i trust no one. neither m$, neither FSF, nor anyone else whether in the past, present, or future, when it comes to any aspect of a software, whether it is features, or licensing, or even something as trivial as compatibility. verify, baby! verify everything for yourself. SO FAR, gpl works okay for me, with the software released under the given version of GPL. btw, did you know that the GPL is/was never really tested in a court of law, until the SCO case came along. only last week did someone send an email [sunil from adpip] that the GPL is legally recognized in some country, and that's a start. for years dissuaders claimed that the GPL would and could be thrown out in a court of law. in fact, nearly a decade and a half ago, people took the EULA of DOS as some dog-poop, until laws were changed or enhanced, to make further enforce the EULA on people in some countries. we have still to see a proper, flaming legal case, where someone has used GPL software in a proprietory software without honouring it, and when questioned, refuses to comply or acknowledge....
