I was looking at GhostScript and friends for Bill earlier tonight.  The
license is dual.  Aladdin license or GPL, depending which version you're
using.  Looks like a delayed tree...GNU inherits their old versions from
the company doing the current versions when they bump it up.  That's what I
took away from the reading I did tonight.

If you get the GPL version, you can use it commercially, no charge.  I
think that may have held true for the other one, although there was a
commercial clause somewhere in all the stuff I read, so check it carefully.
