Not so. The GPL has nothing to say about using code. It's all about giving permission to copy the code. Since the default case in copyright law is you can't copy the code[1], you need to get permission if you want to copy, which is what the GPL grants. If you don't agree to the GPL, then you revert back to the default case - ie. you can't copy. Thus no "EULA" is required. Anyway, this is extremely off-topic for caml-list. Rich. [1] Except under extremely limited cases of fair dealing / fair use, and possibly being allowed to make a private back-up copy in some locales. --=20 Richard Jones. http://www.annexia.org/ http://www.j-london.com/ Merjis Ltd. http://www.merjis.com/ - improving website return on investment NET::FTPSERVER is a full-featured, secure, configurable, database-backed FTP server written in Perl: http://www.annexia.org/freeware/netftpserver/ --5vNYLRcllDrimb99 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBPJeA4le1M6q9pzoRAmH6AKChcPij+sgtQxdsYMNHh2u5Xd1cygCg60vi y664KGRk5Vo8v4QCwC5qjRg= =4HJN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5vNYLRcllDrimb99-- ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
