Can someone comment on this response below I recently received..
Now I have no problem putting software under GPL (by choice)
but I thought GPL was about freedom. Sounds to me like if I spent
lots of time and effort writing a program to work with gnu-win32 and
then decide that I want to sell it I can't. This is not freedom.
Now if I write a program using visual basic I could sell as many copies
as I would like. Does that mean that VB offers more freedom than gnu-win32?
I'd hate to think so.

Response:
Also they have changed the license in beta17 so that *anything* built 
against
there DLL *must* be under the GPL ... something which I certainly disagree
with and it would make me not support their environment unless I had no
other choice. Such is life in a world of religious zealots (the FSF).
