That's a misreading of the GPL (or a misstatement of what you mean). Firstly there is no obligation to make available your changes to anyone else, as long as you don't pass them on to a third party, in which case the mods must be subject to the GPL. Secondly, even in the latter case there is no obligation to submit anything for the original author's approval. You simply have to make it available to him the same as to anyone else. If he incorporates your changes fine. If not, you've created a fork, which is also fine. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
