Don't do it. It has nothing to do with "the spirit of the community", it's (potentially[1]) breaking the law. Contact the maintainer of the software to find out if there's a way to get it under a different license. If not look for an alternative that meets the customers requirements. -Stut [1] Yet to be sufficiently tested in court in most countries, but do you really want to take the risk?! -- http://stut.net/
