That's not really very accurate at all...the basic gist is: Shared Source: You can make any changes you want, and you can distribute those changes in binary and/or source form at your discretion. You may not remove the license, and you may not commercially gain from the code (exceptions for training). GPL: You can make any changes you want, and you can distribute those changes at your discretion. However, if you distribute your changes in binary form, you must distribute your source code as well. You may not remove the license. BSD: You may not remove the license. All else is fair game. Ken
