Proprietary Software in Gnu Open Source

Proprietary Software in Gnu Open Source

[John J. Boyer]

Hello,
I am ancicipating doing some software development for the vendor of a 
proprietary device shich wishes to make it usable on Gnome. In spite of 
digging around on the Web sites, I can't find anything about the Gnu/Gnome 
policy towards proprietary software that can be distributed only as 
binaries. Could any one oof you enlighten me.
By the way, don't tell me to go to another list. I am blind, I use Linux, 
and this is an accessibility project.
John

I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't say it. However, your question is 
of a general nature and there may well be better places to ask it.

At the gnome site for example, http://www.gnome.org/

You do what you want in your room 'till you don't sell anything of
GNU's stuff : read General Public License (GPL) if not convinced, I
think it is the license of Gnome too. Take care that having to
develope stuff without any free philosophy will prevent you to get
support.
