Hi Lorenzo,
Actually HB_COMMERCE=yes means "suitable for commercial apps". For
rpms it means --without gpllib
Okay, that clarifies. Should be named something more clear IMO.

if [ "${HB_COMMERCE}" = "yes" ]
then
INST_PARAM="${INST_PARAM} --without gpllib"
fi
---
it means no GPM but also slang AFAIK has a "special" license.
Another problem is mysql which is GPL unless the user has purchased
a license.
I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if simply providing rpms is enough to
"stain" full harbour.
To be sure I don't build and link any "pure" GPL code.
For mysql, we're not distributing any parts of it in
any form with hbmysql, just linking against it and using
the headers at build-time, so from Harbour's POV this
should be any problem IMO, user should decide whether the
mysql license allows them to use it with out hbmysql.
For gpm this is different, as we're using it to build some
Harbour command-line tools, so we're distributing it in
linked form. Anyhow, it's still safest for the users to
exclude these from builds in the first place.
BTW, you didn't tell me your libcurl version..
Brgds,
Viktor
