I'm just about to leave and I don't have time to dig out a good
example EULA right now, but a search on EULA on slashdot (or wherever)
should turn up a few. Anyway, as has been covered in the news
recently, some of the common restrictions in EULAs are in violation of
consumer laws in certain countries, Sweden being one of them.

OK, slight misunderstanding of the word proprietary on my part. The
GPL does not however prevent you from exploiting the work commercially,
you just have to release the source code. That's all there's to it. If
you don't think that you can make money if you release the source
code, the GPL is not for you.

F'up-to: poster, but I'm guessing that the list software will chew
that line.
