But isn't it de-facto GPL-compatible: Once you've renamed it, you can do with it what the GPL allows and requires, just not change back the name to csplain. The latter isn't a problem with the GPL, I also am not allowed to call my GPL'ed work "Mac OS X Tiger" ;-). Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
