Not quite. The full source as defined by the GPL includes any build scripts such as checkperms, Makefiles, and setup.py. You're also supposed to say something about the changes you've made, which Apple does quite precisely by supplying a diff. I'm not sure what infrastructure (eg, Xcode) might be required, but presumably you can build exactly what they distribute, just as they do. That is a substantially more stringent requirement than "you've got the Python sources" in many cases, and that is what the GPL requires. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
