Not acceptable for whom? Me and my customers are more than happy to pay for a 
encryption solution. (Though free is nice for the short term. Then when the 
developer has starved to death...) 

You seem to have a misunderstanding on the GPL. A freestanding product has no 
problem talking to GPL s/w. The FOP for example, talking to the manager, can 
do so even if it was a commercial product. 

Look at the nVidia driver, it's not GPL. Same deal.
