I wonder who would be willing to buy a commercial license of OpenVPN. Unlike ReiserFS, OpenVPN is a standalone application and commercial vendors that like to distribute OpenVPN can already use the GPL licensed version (they only have to also offer the source code of OpenVPN). Buying a commercial license instead of using the GPL'd version only seems to make sense if you want to extend OpenVPN (but don't want to share the source code of your extensions). bye, Christof -- http://cmeerw.org JID: cme...@jabber.at mailto cmeerw at web.de
