This attachment outlines my rates for data destruction. It's on a postcard that I give out when folks ask about my rates. My contact info is on the other side.

That's brilliant, Binary. Would you mind if I copied your methods here in Atlanta?

Another thought: I use stuff under the GNU license for data destruction. Is it legal to use things under that license for profit?

ROFL? Phyisical disk destruction? Throw if off the side of a bridge or Tow it behind your car for 50 miles?

Sometimes both, sometimes neither...

Go right ahead.

I'm not positive, but I think the GNUPL specifically prohibits profiting directly from any title published under it. Anybody know for sure before I go research it?

Apparently, I'm dead wrong:

from: Frequently Asked Questions about the GNU Licenses

I'd like to license my code under the GPL, but I'd also like to make it clear that it can't be used for ... commercial uses. Can I do this?

No, because those two goals contradict each other. The GNU GPL is designed specifically to prevent the addition of further restrictions. GPLv3 allows a very limited set of them, in section 7, but any other added restriction can be removed by the user.

So, it sounds like you're good to go.
