quoting from GPLv2 license[1]: - -- begin excerpt -- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. - -- end excerpt -- | | -- | regards | | Kenneth Gonsalves | Associate, NRC-FOSS | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ | References [1] http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html Ashish Shukla - -- Ashish Shukla "Wah Java !!" आशीष शुक्ल weblog: http://wahjava.wordpress.com/ ,= ,-_-. =. | A: Yes. | ((_/)o o(\_)) | >Q: Are you sure? | `-'(. .)`-' | >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. | \_/ | >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGrcuYHy+EEHYuXnQRAsVgAJ9nZh5XNFytnUpd6cUEq4DVd2WjQACcCOZ/ QVAVAQ1afaYcdA/w0EZO3AE= =DUZ1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
