AINAL, but I think the short answer is that as long as you don't distribute binaries, you can do whatever you want, including keeping the code private and secret and using whatever protocols you want. You can probably also distribute source code to your hearts content.
If you want to distribute binaries, then that's another matter entirely. If you want the community to accept your patch, then not only do you need to pass all the "GPL hurdles", but the community must be comfortable maintaining your patches and you'll probably have to do all the work and then some. Someone more versed in GPL can probably elaborate. -- Øyvind Harboe Can Zylin Consulting help on your project?
