If one distributes GPL binary rpms, then the sources and scripts used to generate it should be provided too. I considered that a requirement of the GPL. I claimed the GPL applies to the RPM as well as to the GPL binaries it contains. I thought it reasonable to think so. Most folks here are saying I was wrong. I'm willing to accept that. > Unless you have pointers to statements from RMS or the FSF that say > otherwise? > If so then they're even more crazy, and dictatorial, than I thought. If the GPL doesn't cover this case, then I have to say that the GPL is weaker than I thought... and could be abused. -- Rex _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
