Please read section 3(b) of the GPL > at: > > http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html You seem to have misunderstood the GPL. Section 3 says that if you give somebody a GPL'd binary you must also do *one* of a) b) and c) where b) is an offer valid for at least 3 years to supply the source on demand. But you can just do a), which means supply the source together with the binary. Then you have no further obligations. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
