I have downloaded the cvs of the gcc from apple, can I create and distribute it under the GPL? or only under the APSL? mike = James Michael DuPont http://introspector.sourceforge.net/ __ Do you Yahoo!?

David, thanks for you comments and help. Not understanding too much about lawyer, I get easily confused by these issues.

Are you sure? I just went there an tried to download their gcc and was never presented with any license. There is some stuff that requires a valid APSL registration, but gcc and gcc3 are not among them. See the page http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/6.0/projects.html. One thing that *might* be problematic is that CVSWeb requires this same registration. But an APSL agreement and registration to access their central source control repository is a much different thing than having to register to get original and derived GPL code. As near as I can tell, all of their original and derived GPL code does not require this registration to access. Not a problem, IHMO. -- David Johnson ___ http://www.usermode.org pgp public key on website -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
