Quickly checking wikipedia (without verifying further), I'm probably thinking about a different license, but I had it in my head that GPLv1 had a "no commercial use" clause (or allowed it), and that is why it was no longer considered free software, as it impinged on the user's freedom to use as they wish. Pending further research, therefore, I'll just say I seem to have been mistaken. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
