GPL requires that if you modify the source and redistribute the source or derivative works (binaries) you need to make the source available publicly. If you get the source, modify it and use the mods in an org and are not redistributing it you do not have to make your private work public.
You’ll notice for all the Rocket ports that they provide a source tar with the changes they made on their website. The originating project does not need to accept the changes, you only have to “publish” them. There are other implications to the license but I’ll stop here. >> I understand GPL requires that the source be somehow available. >> >> -- gil >> >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >> send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > Matt Hogstrom m...@hogstrom.org +1-919-656-0564 PGP Key: 0x90ECB270 Facebook <https://facebook.com/matt.hogstrom> LinkedIn <https://linkedin/in/mhogstrom> Twitter <https://twitter.com/hogstrom> “It may be cognitive, but, it ain’t intuitive." — Hogstrom > On May 15, 2019, at 8:14 AM, David Crayford <dcrayf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 15/05/2019 12:13 am, Paul Gilmartin wrote: >> On Tue, 14 May 2019 13:58:20 +0800, David Crayford wrote: >> >>> If you've got a C compiler you can build "gawk" yourself.
