For most purposes, yes, but not for *any* purpose. See section 2(c) of the GPL for details: c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) -- Positronic Functional Android Fabricated for Fighting -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
