No offense but your understanding of GPLv3 is sightly misplaced. :-) Freedom 0 : the freedom to use the software for any purpose That includes, hold you breathe, *commercial* purposes as well. It is free as in freedom, not as in free mangoes. As we from FSF's India chapter say "Mukt not Muft". Koha from it earliest Katipo days have been written in large measures via end-user sponsored/funded development. And yet it has remained true to Free Software philosophy rather than descending into open core. LibLime (Metavore) and its subsequent owner PTFS attempted that, but it resulted in a fork, as the global community rejected the open core approach. cheers -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
