If it is GPL version 2, and if you are not distributing the script to anyone, then the licence doesn't apply to you. If the code is something like javascript which can be downloadable by anyone over the web(and therefore might be claimed to fall under redistribution), then make sure that you should not remove any copyright notices from the code. This is not necessary if it is something like PHP scripts where only the output of the script can be downloaded by others. I am not sure about the payment side, as AFAIK it is theoretically possible to provide a GPL software on payment(only by the original producer, and only if the code is entirely theirs). - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya http://blog.sandipb.net _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
