Re: OOT :commercial software from opensource based software?
I''m no expert, but I believe for the most part the answer is yes, but you need to be careful to make sure all original licenses are distributed and that you keep your proprietary code separate. I.e. I think people you distribute your software to need to be able to see, pull out, and use the OS bits if they want - and all appropriate licenses need to be distributed in the package. Do NOT take that as anything remotely close to advice, legal or otherwise - just what my limited understanding of all this is.
