Paolo, Marco,
This is true but as long as you do not release your modifications.
Release means distributing for free, selling or any form of publishing.
I understand Ravi's case as releasing, as he wrote:
or my specific client
A client is probably an out-house entity.
Best regards,
Mateusz

Hi
I'm not so sure. Because if the company only uses your code inhouse, the
GNU project says:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic
Afaik there is only a problem if the company tries to sell commercial
licenses of your code. But I'm not a lawyer, so feel free to correct me.
Regards,
Marco

IFAIK, yes: if you distribute the executables, you have to distribute also
the source, for all GPL programs.
All the best.

Wish to know does this violate licensing.
Qgis is just as an example, it can be Grass or Ossim or any other Open
GIS
as well
Example: I love Qgis and I have added some code to Qgis as a C++
programmer, thus giving the necessary customization for my specific
client.
I compile it and distribute the Executable, as part of my package deal.
Does this violate any license of Qgis.
