Not at all - IIRC, the GPL says (in short) if you use the code of a GPL'ed programme then the resulting programme must also be GPL but if you want to write original code to run using the Linux OS then you can release it under what ever license you like or even not license it at all. Also IIRC, the preamble discusses this in depth. Ivan. > > >-- >Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > > >
