I'm curious about this last one. The GPL does not require that derivative works be published, or that they be donated back to the original author. All it requires is that you pass on the rights that you received to the recipient of your derivative work -- in this case, your customer alone. Of course, if your customer is a proprietary software firm looking to own and sell the software restrictively, then they don't want those terms. But if they're just looking to use it privately and internally, I'm curious how the GPL would get in the way of that. -- Karl A.
