Hi Valdis, it is more complex than i thought... I do support open src, and am going to try and help the exploit pack, so, i hope that the maker is reading all of this and making some adjustments perhaps... alot of them actually. I did not think it was as complex as it has shown to be, but it indeed is.
GPL V3 is encumbered. Software released under it should not be considered 'free' because of the entanglements. Its why Apple is stuck at GCC 4.2 (and the reason they bought LLVM). Its the reason OpenBSD and other projects don't want use GPL V3. Its simply not free software under GPL V3.
I am still abit worried though, of the actual NON free prouct, and then, what if you add to that, and he adds it to his paid-fopr app, or worse, doesnt even put it into the exploit-pack but, rather puts it into ONLY the paid product. Being .py script based code, it really has potential but the author has to get the GPL/lisencing in order and, make Insect pro and this product cleared up,asin to where your exploit code goes, will it stay there, or will it be added to his paid app... he could even be doing this, to get cheap exploits, to indeed put into the paid app... it is another possiblility, but, i do see he is putting in the hours, asin trying to make some changes to this app so it does work... so, for now, it is in public.
Perhaps an Apache or BSD style license would be a more appropriate choice. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/ http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html Jeff

I hope to do it well this time.Please note that one of the biggest complaints about the GPL is that it is pretty much impossible to legally combine GPL code with code that has a non-GPL-compatible license (which includes most proprietary code). So you need to be careful about the origins and licensing on each and every line of code that you include from other sources._______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
