Nobody's required to make changes available *back* to anyone else, under any Free Software license whatsoever, distributing the software or not. The requirement is to make them available *forward* to the recipients of that modified version of the software. This is unlike some Open Source licenses, that do make such requirements, even if you'd rather not distribute the software. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} FSFLA Board Member ¡Sé Libre! => http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
