Not always. If I personalize it with copyrighted/tradmarked material, you are entitled to the source still, but you can not sell it to others with my copyrighted/trademarked materials inside. It's a bit vague if you give it away, but generally that is also a bad thing. If I create an add on for something that is GPL, it does not have to be GPL. So just because I take all GPL code, and add-on something to it for my distribution, does not mean you can use my add-on. It could be under completely different license. No, if I take all GPL code and modify it, then it must be GPL. But if I create a separate piece, it does not have to be GPL. -- Eric Rostetter
