Work for hire that you deliver to the customer is not "published", so the GPL does not require release of the source code (though the customer probably expects you to deliver it to them). If the customer then distributes the program, that is "publication", and the GPL requires the source code to be made available in a similar manner. Assuming, of course, that your work is a "derived work" according to the GPL. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
