[Glastonbury] OOo and MySQL

[Rick Fitzsimmons]

Does anyone know exactly how the Rekall binaries are licensed? The 
website says:
"Total Rekall are pleased to announce that Rekall is now totally GPL. We 
will be making a small charge for Rekall binary distributions to cover 
our costs. We were hoping that users would take out support 
subscriptions and/or buy one of our commercial drivers, but 
unfortunately this has not happened."

My reading of that is that once someone has paid the £15 for the 
download, they're free to do with it whatever they want under the GPL 
(just like if they'd downloaded and compiled the source, but without the 
hassle).

Any thoughts?
Rick.
