    Ambient cant be part of it out of the box now because of the GPL as said below.

    Why?

    You can make a distribution combining proprietary and GPL software.

    What you can't do is link non-free software to GPL software. In the case of Ambient, the only place where this would be an issue, I suspect, would be workbench.library (I'm not familiar with the architecture of Ambient, but I guess it provides a clone of workbench.library).

    So, if this is the case, then Mr Gerber is surely not only stopping Genesi using Ambient, but he is also stopping users legally running any non-GPL compatible software that uses workbench.library.

    I could be wrong, of course. ;-)

    Cheers,
