In the July Computer Langauge, I caught this add (page 140): Pc Postscript V 2.0 o Based on Gnu's Ghostscript o Re-written >50,000 lines of C o 75% speed of LW+, highly tested o 100% compatible to 47.0A o 42 high-queality fonts, 286/386 o Prints to dot-matrix/laser/others $49.95 with 1.2 source, $299.95 with source-code Terra Systems 2464 El Camino Real, Ste. 300 Santa Clara, Calif. 95051 I don't know anything about this product beyond the ad. How does copyleft apply to this? I.e. if I buy a version with the source code for $299, and since it is clearly derived from ghostscript, can I then make it publicly available via anonymous ftp? marty ARPA: leisner.henr@xerox.com GV: leisner.henr NS: leisner:wbst139:xerox UUCP: hplabs!arisia!leisner
