GNU is a philosophy.
The GNU GPL, is a license that embodies that philosophy.
If you're referring to the license which binds the Plucker
project, you are specifically talking about the GNU GPL.
In this case, any modifications you make to Plucker's source
code, which are then distributed publically to others, must be made
available upon request, in source form. These modifications don't
include minor things like changing the order of menu options or
changing the pacifier icon to something else. Those do not benefit
other users, and aren't necessary to contribute back.
For example:
- If you create a modification to Plucker that adds a feature
like say... forms support, and you distribute that modified
Plucker version to others, that source code must be made
available to others upon request.
- If you incorporate Plucker source code into your own
project, and distribute that project publically, the full
source code to the pieces linked to the Plucker source code,
must be made available upon request.
Other than that, I'm not sure I understand your question.
