That means you must give away all of your source under the GPL to
anyone you give the binaries to. If the Jabberpalm code you're using
is GPLd, your client is a derivative work of Jabberpalm and as such
must also be GPLd.
I think you "have to make the source available", that doesn't mean
giving it away with the binaries. It does mean if someone asks you
have
to give it, or make it available as a seperate package.
Yes, you're quite right, sorry. It is not necessary to force the
source on everyone who wants your binaries :) They have to be
provided the source if they want it though, and must know the terms
under which it is available and distributed (the GPL).
