You hit the nail on the head. I get tired of doing exactly that. Just south of me 20-40 miles is the location of SCO Lindon, Utah. I have to make it really clear in most things I do that I understand and totally support the GPL. I have done work for said group and always add in my contracts that what is being done has to support the GPL and strict compliance is necessary. All changes will be sent upstream for inclusion at the project head. Whether they are added or not is really not the issue. I want any and all changes to follow what ever licence they are under and everything has to be in compliance with the licences.
