When I was talking about proprietary or binary-only, I should have said: GPL-incompatible. > Bazsi -- Live long and prosper - Harald Welte / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ GCS/E/IT d- s-: a-- C+++ UL++++$ P+++ L++++$ E--- W- N++ o?
