Well, so much trouble to use GPL. Our application source code makes no sense to the public other than to our customers, so releasing it to the public is not an option. I just thought libsensors is a freeware and can use it to save some time. It appears I would be better of by finding alternate solution, don't want to deal with lawyers ( it is like we release the code under GPL without knowing it and ask the lawyers to interpret it). good bye subba Philip Edelbrock wrote: > > Sorry for the back-forth and the confusion.
