#4595: GPL violation
-------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: Quenton | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: unspecified
Component: other | Version: unspecified
Operating System: All/Non-Specific |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------
This site is selling warzone2100 with modifications but does not offer
source code and this breaks your GPL
http://wp.newnoldsoftware.com/warzone2100r/
Does the GPL require that source code of modified versions be posted to
the public? (#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic)
The GPL does not require you to release your modified version, or any
part of it. You are free to make modifications and use them privately,
without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including
companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it
internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.
But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the
GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the
program's users, under the GPL.
Thus, the GPL gives permission to release the modified program in
certain ways, and not in other ways; but the decision of whether to
release it is up to you.
