===================

I have some great news to report. The leading edge of Ghostscript
development is now under GPL license, as is the latest release,
Ghostscript 8.54. 

By switching to the GPL, we're reaffirming our commitment to the free
software world. One big reason for this decision was to reduce the
lead time between bugs being fixed in the development tree and users
seeing the fixes, especially those users dependent on Linux
distributions.
