Then you can't use GPL. GPL isn't against people making money of software, but against people depriving the users from their rights to change and distribute the software. OSI's "OpenSource" also isn't against people making money, and one rule that OpenSource licences must abide is indiscrimination against people using the software for money. You'll have to make your own licence, then. Regards, Luciano Rocha -- Luciano Rocha, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The trouble with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what you want. -- D. Cohen
take23.org 500 internal server error (probably OT)
Hello all, Thanks to everyone for helping promote open source! What a great feeling it is to be a part of this movement. http://www.take23.org is down due to an internal server error at the moment. If anyone knows who maintains this and can email them, they'd probably appreciate it. Sorry if this is very off topic. Since I'm posting, I'll share one more quick question. Does anyone know how to license software as GPL but have it only be able to be used by non-profit companies? I'm writing an OO Perl / mod_perl based 'click to donate' management software package, but I don't want it to be used by people/companies seeking to profit from it. The goal of the software is to let people run their own 'click to save rainforest', 'click to feed the hungry' etc. Thanks for any advice you all have on this. peace, David __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
