Are you selling systems with this software installed? If so you have to re-release your changes as source code to comply with the GPL. This can be done simply by putting the source changes as patches or packages on your website. However if you are just using the software in house and not distributing it you do not have to release your changes. -- Mark Lane, CET -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sales Manager -- Hard Data Ltd -- http://www.harddata.com T: 01-780-456-9771 -- F: 01-780-456-9772 11060 - 166 Avenue Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5X 1Y3 --> Ask me about our New Dual and 4 Way Blade Servers <-- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
