Your distinction between these two cases is not exactly true. Even when you distribute an unmodified Gimp you're required to provide the sourcecode to your customer on request. The easiest way of course is to provide the sourcecode archive on the same medium you use to distribute the Gimp binary, even without the customers request. The fact that the typical free software project has a prominent presence on the net does not release you from the obligation to provide the source code to your customers (think about a project dropping from the net, this would leave your customers out in the dark...). Just a minor nitpick :) Bye, Simon -- si...@budig.de http://simon.budig.de/ _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
