*PLEASE* read the GPL again and what the FSF writes about it Commercial use is perfectly compatible with the GPL. It is even encouraged. As long as you comply with the other limitations set up by the GPL. Commercial use or even selling of GPLed code for money is not at all forbidden, just restricting the rights of those you pass the code on to is. -- Hartmut Holzgraefe, Senior Support Engineer .
