Well if you change your mind let me know - I'll be first in line :-D

Though if you ever want to screw over a company that does develop with
a GPL library just innocently get them to install the application onto
your personal laptop to "work from home". They've then distributed it
and have to give you source as well, the license also leaves you free
to redistribute it after that so you're good to release it to the
world :-)

Of course I doubt you'll have a job any more after doing that, but
hey. Plus they'll probably make you go to the hassle of actually suing
them to get the source, but you'll win.

Cheers,

Alan.
