You just have to follow certain requirements when you use GPL'd code, but you aren't prevented from doing stuff with it. Remember that the FSF owns the copyright on most of the core GNU programs. All other vendors shipping GNU tools, from Redhat to Cygnus to (gasp if it happened) Microsoft would be equivalent as far as what they are allowed/required/forbidden to do. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
