[X2go-dev] GPL violations

[Gerry Reno]

I think we have all posted about getting the sources for all components 
at one time or another.

I wish Heinz would just post an example build using the plugin sources 
so that this GPL issue would be at an end.

As I posted earlier regarding GPL source:

The GPL does not care about 'releases'.  It only cares about source 
distribution occurring in concert with binary distribution.  Whenever 
you distribute any binary code in any manner whatsoever, the GPL 
requires that the source for that binary code also be made available in 
a form that can reconstruct the binary.

You cannot say, Oh, we haven't reached a release point on that component 
yet so we're only going to give you binaries.  That doesn't fly as far 
as the GPL.

Heinz, this is a good project, but I think you need to forthrightly 
address these concerns about the GPL and the code.  The natives are 
restless.


Regards,
Gerry
