> How long of a delay would be acceptable? As others have said, there is no position within GNU GPL 2.0 or 3.0 which permits a delay in the provision of the source code. However, perhaps, if your question were phrased slightly differently, it might elucidate some further interesting and useful comments? Perhaps: A company develops, manufacturers and retails a product containing GNU GPL 2.0 covered code, and distribution of the binary is to be accompanied by a written offer conforming to section 3(b). Someone chooses to take up the written offer, and asks the company for a copy of the source code. How long need the delay be between someone asking for the code, and the company providing it, for that company to be considered non-compliant? (Hopefully formulating the question in this way does not make me one of the horrible lawyers intent on circumventing the GPL but, if it does, at least take comfort from the fact that I am not *your* horrible lawyer :)) Neil __________ Neil Brown [email protected] | http://neilzone.co.uk
