I don't think they make it clear *what* you are paying for. I think it is reasonable if they claim that you are paying for the distribution, NOT the license. I am not trying to defend sveasoft. Personally, I dislike their method, but I'm gathering information to try and understand who's right, who's wrong and if sveasoft is indeed violating the GPL. regards, pedro venda. -- Pedro Jo?o Lopes Venda email: pjvenda@rnl.ist.utl.pt http://maxwell.rnl.ist.utl.pt Equipa de Administra??o de Sistemas Rede das Novas Licenciaturas (RNL) Instituto Superior T?cnico http://www.rnl.ist.utl.pt http://mega.ist.utl.pt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
