I agree with Ray on his statements. I know of commercial companies that have been served with papers mandating buying a SCO license or risk possible legal action for refusing to do so, though none of this has necessarily happened with any LEAF installation that I am aware of. The possibility of similar action being taken with a LEAF variant is concievable, so I feel that any information that could avoid this situation would be worthy of being posted for any concerned parties. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
