Re: Enquiry diaw.exe for commercial using

[Thomas Harding <tom thomas-harding name>]

There is no restriction in GPL against sales ! What is an obligation is 
to provide source code together or offer it with no extra cost except 
hard-copy/shipping costs to who has buy GPL software.

So, to be honest, as they didn't done any authoring, would be the answer 
"this is GPL'ed, has free download repositories for sources, severale 
unices, msWindows...

What service could be "charged" by an extra company  in case of Dia 
would be quality printed manuals, a source survey and "user" hotline <=> 
bug report service (preferably with patches), new ports, improvements, 
or features developpement (shapes, ...). Ideally such a company would 
gave back devel to Dia mainline (according fact Dia is GPL, any of its 
customer would be able to do so)...
