I'd provide some level of support, of course, but I couldn't be at a user's beck and call unless I was compensated appropriately. My concern is whether or not anyone would be willing to pay me for a commercial license. If people only want to use the code for in-house projects and to develop open source Linux software then it would be silly for me to give it away when I could keep it closed source and sell it (or software derived from it). -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://ffconsultancy.com
