This might be a little off topic, but I have a question about the GPL licensing. If I were to develop a product for my own use, would I be required to distribute it because someone found out I had it and they wanted it? Could I sell services created by a GPL product without distributing the product? Here is a fictitious example of what I am talking about: I write a program using GPL products. The program is able to pick the ten stocks that will go up the most the next trading day. I want to sell that report to subscribers at the end of every trading day. I do NOT want to sell the program that does the calculations. I just want to sell the service. Would I be required to sell or give the program away because I created it with gpl? I understand that if I were to distribute or sell the program, it would be open to anyone who wanted it or a copy of the source code for it. The question is: Do I HAVE to distribute a product I create under GPL if I don't want to distribute it at all? And May I sell the results of the program without being required to sell or distribute the program?
