The GPL makes no such requirement. I'll assume that, by this, you mean that it must include a copy of the GPL. > and a way to > download any modified Apertium sources is clearly provided.

The GPL is based on copyright, and actions on its violation can only be taken by, or on behalf of, the copyright holders. The most the PMC can do is contact the copyright holders, and offer assistance if they wish to pursue an action. > > Assuming that Ismael has acted in good faith, I will allow one week for > correcting actions before I do anything. Ismael has *demonstrably* acted in good faith by 1) getting in contact with Jacob (the primary copyright holder of lttoolbox-java) and 2) stating his intention to release his source code.
