Well... I don't know about that... I mean, I present MySQL as my example.
MySQL is GPL licensed... but if you're a corporation or you plan to sell a
product containing or using MySQL, they have a commercial license... From
what I glanced at... looks like the code is the same. If the core
developers wish to, I suppose they can adopt a similar approach to the
people at MySQL

Hmm... is that what happened? I was under the impression people were
reacting 'cause this fellow put up screenshots of Rockbox with his auction
for an ARCHOS unit.


OT:OT: heh, you think maybe it's time that the folks at RockBox form a PR
and a legal department? :-P
