Just for reference, nothing in the GPL requires you to send your modifications upstream. If you never distribute your modified Vino, you don't have to do anything. If you distribute it, the GPL requires you to provide source code (upon request) to those people to whom you distributed it. It does not require you to share every modification you make with the original authors. This is not to say that you shouldn't share your modifications upstream. I think it's generally a good idea to work with the upstream maintainers of a package as much as possible. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
