The GPL and the notion of proprietary software are fundamentally incompatible. No versions of GNAT for example are, or could be proprietary.

Indeed the whole point of the GPL is to avoid the disadvantages of the proprietary model of software. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
