No. If your support contract expired, you didn't receive the binary updates from them, and because they didn't provide you with a copy of any binary updates, nothing obliges them to make the source available to you, or to anyone else who isn't a paying customer. However, they cannot legally compel their paying customers not to redistribute the update binaries or sources that they are legally entitled to.
The GPL only governs redistribution. If you don't distribute GPLed code in source or binary form, then you are not subject to it. -- While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
