I'm leery of looking at any GMP code... it's probably pure paranoia, the GPL can't apply to just *looking* at code, but I'd rather stick to descriptions to ensure that my code doesn't resemble anyone else's and nobody can claim that I've copied from them.
Your paranoia may be justified:
"The courts have made it clear that, under copyright law, proof of substantial similarity between your work and another work, along with proof of access to the other work, may be enough to prove infringement, even when you don’t realize that you’re making a copy." ~ <http://rosenlaw.com/lj8.htm>
Sheesh... that's even worse than I thought. :-( In that case, I think it best if I don't even download GMP. -- Chad Nelson Oak Circle Software, Inc. * * *
