No. The GPL requires only that anyone who gets a modified binary gets modified source as well. It does not require that you deliver modified source to anyone on demand. I may make changes to my GPLed software, and as long as I don't distribute the binary, I can keep the source to myself. -- John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_ -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
