[Dev-C++] Does anybody have experience with GPL?

[<and...@su...>]

Dear Users,

   Does anybody have experience on registering a free tool
via Free Software Foudation? 
   To declare a software tool as free, is it important to
get a GPL? Is it simple to obtain?


Regards
Andre

Yes, it is very simple to obtain. All you need is a web browser :)

You don't obtain a GPL. You just sign that your software is covered by the
GPL license and make sure that the source code is distributed together
with the license.
