I'm planning to release a program under the GNU license. However, since this program might be of commercial interest to some people, I'm hesitating, because I don't want my (source-)code to be included in some commercial product. The GNU license does not allow this of course (except if the source code for the commercial product is released as well, I think), but how can I be sure? I could go the Netscape etc. way and release binaries only, but that won't be useful to many people (e.g. Netscape isn't available on DECstations AFAIK). What should I do? Regards, Marinos
