To elaborate... When someone tells me I can "utilize" source code, I take it to mean that I'm permited to "utilize it in the preparation of derivative works".

Perhaps they honestly believe the GPL is not itself a restriction... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
