- I raised this question with the Cygnus guys at the Sun User show
- in San Jose, and they assured me that if I build a product using
- GNU stuff, then I have to ship the src. *BUT* I do not have to ship
- the src to my application. This has been checked out by various
- legal eagles including those of a certain large (though getting smaller :-)
- computer company.
