<div>Perhaps you should read my posts again before say something like that, and I mean MY posts, not the others. I don't understand why is so difficult to you to understand that I don't want, and I will not, violate any license in any way.</div>
<div><em><br>They expect that if the code is free to download, the license is invalid<br>- WRONG and cannot be enforced - WRONG AGAIN - a sort of mentality that<br>says why shouldn't we be free to use the efforts of others in our<br>

<p>Please, please, read my posts. Who does expect that? Who has said that?</p>

<div>Exactly. Thank you Alan. That's the point. My first question was </div>
<div><em>Hi all,<br>is there any commercial license of MythTV, besides GNU GPL? <br>Is there any way of using MythTV code in the development of, for example, the software of a SetTopBox, without having to release this new software under the terms of GPL?<br>
Thanks a lot</em></div>
<div><em></em> </div>
<div>I was looking for a commercial license or any LEGAL way to use the code, without any intention to violate anything. If you think (or know) it's imposible a good answer would be "no", nothing else. My intention was not to get a definitive answer, only to get opinions about the technical aspects of the matter.</div>
<div>Thanks anyway</div>
