There are exceptions to scripting that allows you to use the product to write scripting without affecting copyright. The important idea is 'use' not linking. Another the key factor is distribution. If software never goes outside your doors then you are safe. Finally, Open Source does not stop profit. We have a non-saleable product that would generate support dollars if we released it open source. -- Ken Foskey FOSS developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
