Date: Sun, 17 Mar 1996 03:19:50 GMT Organization: West Coast Online's News Server - Not responsible for content Lines: 29 Message-ID: <4ig07m$pu6@news.wco.com> Reply-To: agserm AT netwizards DOT net NNTP-Posting-Host: dial26.netwizards.net To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp I've been wondering if somebody can help me understand the FSF license. First, I would like it if somebody could help me figure out what libraries are included under it (and hence would bring my entire product under it), and I'd like to know what it allows me to do. I have no problem with making the source available to anyone who requests it, but I can't figure out if it allows me to charge. Tell me if this arrangement is possible: A shareware version which may be freely distributed, and anyone can get the source to. A registered version which you must pay for, and anyone who registers can get the source to. Actually, I guess that having the reg. ver code avail to everybody wouldn't be too disastrous, but I will have to avoid the libs which are most useful if I cannot charge for the registered ver .exe (Figuring that not many people will have the ability or inclination to download djgpp and compile the program just to save a lousy $15) TIA very much. P.S. I finally figured out after 3 days trying to get gcc to work that set djgpp=e:\djgpp\djgpp.env does not equal set djgpp = e:\djgpp\djgpp.env Arrgh! (I like the compiler a lot though)
