I suggest that you avoid the GPL for components, as GPLed components can only be used to build GPLed applications. Alternatives are: the LGPL at http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu/copyleft/lgpl.html; the MPL at http://www.mozilla.org/NPL/MPL-1.0.html; the BSD license (aka "James Clark" license) at http://www.opensource.org/bsd-license.html the public domain. I favor the last two options for large and small components respectively. For information and texts, see http://www.opensource.org . Also note that modified versions of the GPL are *forbidden* by its own copyright notice: the GPL is not itself under the GPL, but under a license that says "anyone may copy, but changes are forbidden." That is to prevent the proliferation of minutely different versions of the GPL. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c... You tollerday donsk? N. You tolkatiff scowegian? Nn.
