yes, the GPL requires that whatever software is sold under GPL, the sourcecode be made available ... whether the customer wants or not !! but the exact location of the sourcecode may vary. some distributors of GPL software give it along on the CDs itself if the software is being given on a CD eg. redhat, or some might like to release it only their respective ftp servers -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
