Unless I'm reading something wrong, GPL licensed software must be free. Tora's web site says it's distributed under the GPL license but also says commerical users must purchase a license. How can that be? Doesn't this violate the GNU GPL which is available at www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html and states in section 2b that programs are to be "licensed as a whole at _no charge_ to all third parties under the terms of this License."

I'm very suspicious of anyone that tries to charge for software distributed under GPL. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Received on Mon May 05 2003 - 15:32:47 CDT
