  Hello Fabien,
  I have not been posting lately, but I often read the forum, and I've followed
this Toga/Fruit issue with interest. I have one question for you: why not simply
distribute Fruit under your own license (like Bob does with Crafty) where you
state clearly what you allow and what you don't? I have no idea about legal
aspects of GPL, but with a particular license this problems would disapear. What
do you think?
