It's the boat that's iffy... You can buy a boat, and it's yours to do with as you will. Of course you mightn't be able to afford to buy a boat. Alternatively, you can use someone else's boat, and you'll be driving around with their sign on the side. And using their boat subject to their terms. Alternatively, you can build your own boat. Get the bits you need, and the tools, and the boat's yours. Building your own tools might be a bit hard, if you're desperate to not be reliant on someone else, but the cost of those tools are still going to be cheaper than buying a boat.\. The grizzles about being hamstrung by GPL conditions don't apply if you don't use something GPL'ed while building. You don't *have* to. It's your choice to make use of cost-free, but not condition-free, GPL tools. Use alternatives, if you don't want their conditions. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
