Question Answered By: Mildred Bailey   on Apr 25

1) After sending previous e-mail, I read the GPL and I saw that
unfortunately GPL allows them to restrict access  to program  to
some countries, take a look at this snippet:

"8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
this License."

I am not an open  Source and free software  fan, but I think this
article is totally against the spirit of openness. What do you think?

2) If downloading  and using Java is not allowed in Iran, can we use
Java and Java EE to make commercial softwares? Is it allowed?
