Hi, I must say I don't know much about the Gnu licensing and how it affects the free software world (and in this case I haven't read the fine print) though I'm open to information. If its restrictive in any way I'll drop it and move on to one of the other alternatives (luckily there's a few). I've heard grumbles about the Gnu licensing but haven't looked in to the problems with it. The GnuJSP implementation (version 0.9.8) is at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~vincentp/gnujsp/ Sun's reference page (specification version 0.92) is at: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/ Regards, Joe.
