Dann, I understand that Fabien could still go commercial. But the question that I don't understand is: Could Fabien, if he wants create future non-GPL'd versions of Fruit? My understanding of the GPL would be that once a program is GPL'd, it can never go closed source. (my thoughts http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?432338) However, others here have said that Fabien retains the copyright and thus still has the option to create future non-GPL versions of Fruit. Do you happen to know whether this is legally permitted? Thanks as always, Eric
