I was about to say that, though I'm pro strong copyleft (AKA GPL when fits) myself, though I highly doubt, for practical reasons ;), that any one can take a BSD licensed ConTeXt and make a closed source derivative with any substantial improvement.

That may be legally possible. But who wants to support such a beast? Seriously: Using ConTeXt mkIV without the possibility of support by Hans et.al. is a desaster waiting to happen.

That what I meant. Actually if someone succeeds doing that, it is well earned money :p Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab
