Re: Legal stuf, GPL, ...
AR>> 1. I'm going to use GPL licensed development tools.
That's OK. Program compiled by gcc isn't "work based on it", as in GPL.
AR>> 2. I consider to incorporate into my code GPL licensed pieces of

AR>> 3. I'm NOT going to provide source code for my software.
Here you are at risk serious troubles. I don't know what's the legal
status of GPL in Israel and if it was tested here in the court, but you
will be clearly violating copyright agreement. At least *tons* of bad
publicity you'll get.
AR>> What can be done?
Don't use GPL'd code. Use commerical or public domain or unrestricted or
some other license. Or write yourself.
