Hi,
I have some questions on the GNU general public license.
1. If I developed an application program that runs on BSD system,
do I need to send my application source code to the user (my
customers)?
2. If I developed a disk driver that load into the BSD system, do I
need to send my driver source code to the user (my customer)?
The above 2 cases assumes that I have made no change to the BSD
src, I just use the existing interface published by BSD.
3. What if I modify the BSD to support my API. I developed a driver
using my API. Now, I need to send the source code of the modified BSD
to my customer, do I need to send them the source code of the driver I
developed which use the new API I add?
I appreciate your time in responding to my questions above. It does
impact my decision on which OS I should develop my product on. I would
like to follow the license agreement the best I could in understanding
the requirements.
Thanks again for your kindly response.
Philip Chan
