RE: RPG 'CPAN' site

Maybe it is a misunderstanding. The way the GPL is worded, it seems like the
whole application has to be open source, but isn't it just that module and
any modifications to that module?

John,

I don't understand why you cannot use GPL software. Does
that mean you cannot use the Apache web server, Eclipse,
or the Qshell utilities?

Hi David,

Doesn't the use of GPL significantly limit the number of AS/400 shops
that
can use it?  I know it's a showstopper for me. And if I can't use it
myself,
I can't see why I'd bother to contribute code to it.
