Close, but not quite. It doesn't even prevent proprietary *use* (though AGPL does), it prevents proprietary *redistribution*. If, for example, my company takes a GPLd program and modifies it, we could use it in-house with impunity, but we could not distribute it to anyone else without including *the sources for any changes we made*. We aren't compelled to distribute those changes, though, merely because we *made* them to GPLd code. The discrepancy this introduces in web-app code is what the Affero GPL was introduced to avoid. </nitpick> So, John: when do we get to see the code? :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
