Whether xetex contains any gpl'd code (e.g., from pdftex), I don't know,<br>
but I wouldn't rule it out.<br></blockquote><div><br>Actually the problem for me is not the GPL, but the commercial license of Ghostscript. That puts restrictions on redistributing the software, though I don't know the details.<br>
