Of course I'm in favor of the GPL for any project, but I would not 
enforce people to give up their short term profits. ;-)

Can you tell me where glade has put this statement? I'd enclose it in 
the same place.

I had already said that I see glade-- like other GPL code generators 
(bison, glade, ...) which place no restriction upon the generated code. 
Of course the generated code should have the same licence as the .glade 
file (it's automatically generated from it). And it's up to you to chose 
the license for your data.

PS: Do you know that glade-- generated code also works on Win32?
