I sent him the information for ups, which Rod> he said was not sufficent for a GPL - and he blocked the posting. I would agree with the moderator - the UPS license can be interpreted to mean that you can only use it for pleasure - not at work - because if you used UPS at work you would no longer be using bits of it for your own use. I write programs which I release via GPL. While I have not tried to make money out of it, this does not imply my programs are not commercial - as anyone who downloads them can sell them. I may want to sell them myself in future. I do not think UPS is "Free Software" at the moment. Which is a pity :-( Dibyendu
