Linking an application with the emx libraries does not cause the executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. You are allowed to change and copy the emx library sources if you keep the copyright message intact. If you improve the emx libraries, please send your enhancements to the emx author (you should copyright your enhancements similar to the existing emx libraries). Of course, all this does not apply to the libraries which are distributed under the GPL or the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL, see \emx\doc\COPYING.LIB) or the BSD license (see \emx\doc\COPYING.BSD), such as termcap.a, gpp.a and curses.a. -- alexander aganichev url: http://aaganichev.narod.ru __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
