Excellent, I have been designing a strong interface between the two
objects so that we can use them separately.  They are command line
programs like `iwconfig` and Wifiadmin gathers the output for display.

Could McMasters Wireless Group ask for limited rights as suggested by
section 4 of the GPL to explicitly allow us to execute proprietary
programs with WifiAdmin?  This would likely make my supervisors sleep a
little better.

My understanding of the GPL is very basic, but an explicit "Yes - you
can do that." would be nice.

Absolutely.  The programs are currently part of some research to test
and modify a wireless mesh for dynamic configurations.  Sounds fancy,
eh?  :)  But they will likely be based on network traffic in the mesh
and a few other degrees of freedom.

Thanks for the great code base!  
I just wanted to make sure the project developers were aware what we are
working on so that if we decide to _eventually_ create a product out of
the derivative work we will still be in good standing.

Cheers,
Chris
