It would have serious dependencies (i.e. you'd need working Internet connection, compilers/dev libraries/etc) but would meet the requirements of the license. This sort of licensing restriction is what limited Qmail from world-domination (as another example). I always thought a "fake binary" .rpm/.deb that actually showed you the license, then compiled-and-installed would meet such licensing issues. But I Am Not A Lawyer (he says, merrily dancing around). -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
