If you distribute a GPL-derived work to one of your clients, you are obliged to give the sources to them, and only to them. No one else is entitled to a copy of the sources, if they did not get the binaries. Of course, your client is then free to give binaries *and* sources to whomever they please, subject to the same requirement. Whether changing configuration files, instead of sources, constitutes a derived work is a murkier matter, with no general answers. This all applies to GPL-derived work: BSD-like stuff imposes no contraints of the sort. Please note, IANAL, and all that. -- Nicola Larosa - http://www.tekNico.net/ Life is mainly a trade-off between money and time. You must pay in money or time.
