I'ts even worse, if you use the GPL'ed myth library and use it in your 
not-GPL'ed product, you have to relase ALL code under the GPL license.
That's why they call the GPL a viral license.

For those who are bored, I will stop this thread.  There are numerous sites 
around license issues.  My favorite is the discussions that sometimes happens 
on /. (http://slashdot.org).


End of discussion: http://www.d1.com.au is doing nothing wrong.
You can only ask them polite if they will join this list and share some 
knowledge.
