Hi Thu That would sound like 'private use' to me[1] which is permitted by the GPL. If the client later wanted to *distribute* the agglomerated work the GPL would apply. Distribution being the key point, as at that stage the client is no longer using the agglomeration privately.
Best wishes Stephen [1] insert the usual caveats for 'interpretation' - I'm not a lawyer, your mileage may vary, etcetera. Similar the limits on 'client' would need some definition vis-a-vis distribution, one person would surely be fine, extrapolating up to multi-national companies I'm not sure. 2009/12/12 minh thu <[email protected]>: > I'd like to point out a possible situation, that makes the questions > even more interesting. > > Say the author of Y (the BSD licensed code) is used to install its > code, Y, along of its requisite X (under GPL) to customer locations. > Note that Y and X are not (re)distributed in compiled form.
