There is no implied responsibility that they carry, when I use their code base. That is not the case with commercial software, unless, the commercial license specifically clauses it out...and the customer agrees to it. If I am wrong on this line of thought.... i would love to be corrected. take care, Vishal -- Thanks and best regards, Vishal Sapre --- "Life is 10% how you make it, and 90% how you take it" "बहुजन हिताय, बहुजन सुखाय (Benefit for most people, Happiness for most people.)" --- Please DONT print this email, unless you really need to.
