Keep im mind that you may also ask for donations. This is a way that the GNU project gathers funds. In any business you must have some initial funding for operating and living expenses while doing initial development. The GNU project is no different in that regard. Please read the GNU General Public License. It answers most of your questions. -David- # david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ David J.
