Yes - and "use" can mean a lot in that context: From pure in-house usage
(e.g. a CVS server used for a proprietary product) over providing CVS
repos to the outside (e.g. some hypothetical company which just sells
CVS repo access and support) - with or without patching it - up to
(re-)using sourcecode of it (or the complete sourcecode) in some other
own product.
[ List may not be complete;-) ]
So without exact knowing, what they do with it (and what not) in what
way, one cannot write more specific hints than - basically - "follow the
rules of the license".
GPLv2 is actually short and simple enough to be readable and
understandable by not-lawyers.
There are books providing more explanation and - of course - the
Internet is full of discussions about this .....
