-=> Quoting Bob Lawrence to John Tserkezis <=-

Hello Bob,

 JT> GNU is free for the end user, but it can't be used to make a
 JT> commercial procuct, is that right? Whereas, public domain is
 JT> just that, do whatever you like however you like. 

 BL> GNU doesn't let you use their code as part of your your products.

 Not really.  As per my last message, any GNU work you get your hands on, must
be freely available from you.  IOW you can't charge money for it unless it's
a "handling fee" or whatever.  If you make any modifications, it must be
clearly stated the original work is "whoever's", and you must make your new
work free and inherit the same GNU license the original had.

 BL> PD may be claimed as your very own, added to, changed, whatever, and
 BL> SOLD!!

 This I understand.
