No. In fact, you don't have to make your changes public even if you do sell it: you just have to provide the to your customers. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA ___ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss

If yes, you should urgently take the FSF's license-quiz http://www.gnu.org/cgi-bin/license-quiz.cgi (Q6).
