  You need to be careful about ``what comes around goes around''.
  If you are using libg++ for a commercial product you should know
  that your product will fall under the GNU General Public License
  since libg++ does.  This will require you to offer for copying
  costs, all your source code.  I would like to see this restriction
  removed from libg++ so that it indeed will grow and grOW and GROW to
  be usable by everyone.
