Dear Sir or Madam Please answer my question to help me to overcome the confusion i got into while i was reading the Open Babel FAQ3.2 What's in it for me as an academic? .....If you're inclined to write code, the GPL is an excellent option for the academic. You're the original copyright holder, so you can do whatever you want with the code, in addition to selling it. But if you've also licensed it under the GPL, no one can distribute it commercially without your agreement. Generaly GPL provides the rights to the user of GPLed or free software to distribute it any way he wants, why Open Babel FAQ states that "no one can distribute it commercialy without your agreement?" http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/selling.html Can you refer me to the provision of GPL or other source to realise that.
