Patrice,
It is great to see the first on-the-shelf product based on AWS !
You said on your home page that this is GPL software, you should certainly
remove the special exception in your sources:
<<
-- As a special exception, if other files instantiate generics from this --
-- unit, or you link this unit with other files to produce an executable, --
-- this unit does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be --
-- covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not --
-- however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be --
-- covered by the GNU Public License. --
>>
It seems that you have used the same header than AWS, AWS is GMGPL (GNAT
Modified GPL) in short this is needed to be able to use AWS (it is a library)
in a commercial project. In your case you have a end-user product, so it makes
sense to have it GPLed. Anyway, if you really meant to have it distributed as
GPL software you should remove the quoted comments above.
Pascal.
