If a company goes into a software project with GPL source, they should follow the licensing. I agree...it's the same if they use M$ software, or whatever. Follow the licensing. What I do not agree with is the premise that the FOSS community would die a fiery death if not for the GPL. I guess we should tell all the guys who write code for {Open,Free,Net,Dragonfly}BSD that they'd better pack up shop and install Windows because the GPL is going away. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
