Your friendly neighborhood FOSS curmudgeon at your service. :) The GPL expresses no opinion about charging a price for software. The "free" in "Free Software" is about freedom: you are free to use the software however you like, modify it however you like, and share the modifications with anyone you like. As a practical matter, though, Free Software is also usually given away without cost. This is not a licensing requirement, but merely a reflection of the economic reality at play: if your user has the right to share the software with anyone at any price or no price at all, they usually will, so you'd sell exactly one copy. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
