To start, IANAL. Generally speaking, a program as a whole is not what is licensed, it is the code. You can combine code under assorted licenses, but the resulting product is limited to the most restrictive possible subset of those licensing terms. In the case of public domain and GPL, the GPL is the more restrictive license. The public domain code remains public domain. The GPL code remains GPL'd. The resulting program can be released as open-source, and the terms of the GPL must be abided by for the GPL'd code. If someone were to remove the GPL'd code, they could then do as they please with the public domain code. The public domain is GPL-compatible. IANAL, but I believe you can safely package the program for inclusion in Extras. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64 n-man com www.n-man.com --
