FWIW I think people who would like to get an idea of what prompted the fork of Smoothwall GPL to IPCOP should just search: "smoothwall ipcop reasons" on google groups and you'll see why the IPCOP project was started and why many switched. It has less to do with code and more to do with personalities. Others have explained why the GPL allows the fork. You have a right to consider it distasteful but don't hope its illegal unless you want the GPL to be unenforceable. -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
