software, just to deploy it at your work. IANAL but it's as if you
modify a GPL software and don't distribute the modified software, the
new binary is not under GPL, so with the "GPL contagion" it should be
the same : if you don't distribute the software, no contagion.
No, we will be distributing the software to external organizations, though not necessarily for a fee (I know fee or not, doesn't really matter). By saying "an application at work", I just meant that it is not my personal project that I have 100% control over, but I can see how that could have been confusing.
Thanks,
