Sometime back one of you fine LXers requested the source code to a commercial, supposedly GPL-licensed product, and were told it's only available to customers. Well check this out: "8. Distributors only need to offer source code to their customers If distributors opt to provide an offer for source code, then under section 3b, the offer must be good for three years, and must apply to "any third party." No distinction is made between commercial customers and anyone else who might be interested in the source code." http://www.itmanagersjournal.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/21/165... |

I wish I knew more about the situation and the company involved. |
