I dislike the GNU license as much as anyone, but I must point out that you may distribute FSFware with commercial software so long as you make the source to the FSFware available and the commercial software is not bound with the FSFware. So you CAN sell Getty and simultaneously distribute UUCICO with it. Much as I'd prefer to get it free. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' ...texbell!sugar!peter, or peter@sugar.hackercorp.com 'U` ``Back off dude!
