You can modify GPL software for private use. That clause only kicks in when you "distribute or publish" the work, so you're generally OK if you're just using it within a single company. Maybe that's what Huib meant by "closed source". -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
