You are right.  We talked to atterney from fsf some time back and
modify the license for the Windows Ch toolkit for GTK+.
Obviously we made an mistake in updating the license in Unix/linux.
We have just updated it in our website. You can retry and download
the package again. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks.

If the user asks GTK+ 1.2 source code from us, they will get it.
However, most users prefer to go to www.gtk.org 
for the official version of source code. 


> 3. Have you modified GTK+ at all?

We have a slight modification for the header files.
If GTK+ developers can include those changes in their original
distribution, it will be great. Do you know what we need to 
do in terms of code contribution and what is the policy for
GTK+ to take changes?

Thanks for your suggestion.

BTW, do you know how to get http://www.gtk.org/bindings.html to add a
link 
to our website?. We will make a new release for Ch on Linux soon. It
will
be free for personal and business use.  I think many GTK+ users
might be interested.

Thanks,
