Re: Legal stuf, GPL, ...



Interesting issue IMO. I'd like to pursue this a bit further...

You all mentioned that I 'must' publish the source code if I use a GPL
source code in my app. How hard must I work to publish this code? Is it
enough to:
1. Write 'if you want the source code e-mail me' in the installation file or
the docs?
2. Bury a statement like 'the sources are available in: ftp.bla.com' deep on
the web site in nearly invisible letters?
3. Not say anything at all (but if someone asks, supply them the sources)?

Remember the GPL is a legal document. I know the 'spirit' of GPL is
different, but I'm curious about the formal part of it...
