I remember seeing (but cannot confirm right now) a statement that some modules were not allowed to be used on GPL when I compiled the opensource version of Qtopia last night. So I guess to really have that edge whith all the readily available thingies that were mentioned one must pay the fee anyway? > The only "legal" difference of GPL and LGPL is > that GPL insures derived sources remain open. No. Sources will always remain open with LGPL too. It's the combining and linking with non-free (in fact, any) licensed work that LGPL allows (and GPL doesn't). -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi
