That's all you'll be doing though. As a representitive of a corporate entity it is important that I not make promises that I can't keep. I would like to provide all facilities under GPL or more liberal terms. We have to deal with potential legal encumberances, and that's a fact of corporate life. I can say that I want to use GPL, that I plan to use GPL (which is true) but I am required to provide notice that I may not be able for legal, copywrite, or corporate poliy reasons to commit to doing so. This is one of the disadvantages of being a wage slave. -- Casey Schaufler Manager, Trust Technology, SGI casey@sgi.com voice: 650.933.1634 casey_p@pager.sgi.com Pager: 888.220.0607
