If I'm not wrong, the GMGPL is only about linking. Apart of that, the  =

source itself is still under GPL, which means if someone modify his  =

source, he/she have to either redistribute the modified source with the =

application, at not charge (disabling any hope of selling, even for a  =

single cent, what ever the amount of work done), or else, he/she have to=
  =

not distribute it at all.

While I may be wrong with that tricky part (GPL is all about tricks  =

everywhere :-P ). If I'm wrong, just tell, would be glade to know.
