In the case of Toga this would mean a no no, because the original source of Toga is Fruit which is GPL. That's why Toga must always be released with source according to the GPL rules. I think a way for him could be to use a .dll and offer only this .dll in another download. (As soon as he gets your permission to use it, of course -> and also the one from Andrew which is forgotten here from time to time) Thanks god I have both, I think I get it from you and Andrew just before CSVN Championships 2001... Greets, Thomas
