Gordon,

The thing is that I didn't really used his source for anything on my 
builds. I t was very much like Charlies skeleton build, I took the 
source and looked at the build to get an idea of what todo.

But basically I changed everyting from the spec file to the actual 
install files, I also used Charlies skeleton build so do it mean I have 
to notify Charlie?

Just want to be clear of my understanding of the GPL licence.....

Like you say, I have made the source available anyway!
