new Screenshots of Rage Harde released : Comment 96 of 135 | ANN.lu |
Posted by TBone on 10-Jul-2002 22:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 76 (Steffen Haeuser): "If what you want would be true, everybody would be in breach of contract when using a GPL'ed Source, unless he puts his harddrive into the net for public download already *while* developing :) Funny idea... "
As a matter of fact, that wouldn't be good enough :P The GPL doesn't require net access to the source, but here's another interesting fact, Net access to the source does -not- satisfy the GPL, even -with- net access to the source, the source -must- be available for mail order.
I hadn't realised this, and just stumbled upon it myself, but it is a good idea. This makes it easier for you afterall, as you don't have to lift a finger untill someone actually wants to order the source, at which point you get to charge a fair fee (some recomend $35 for a CD) for burning a CD to satisfy those people bugging you :)
It is an interesting subject though, I don't think I've seen this issue raised before.
Granted if the binary was leaked, you have no liability whatsoever, but could optionally sell the CD for $35 if you deemed it worthwhile anyway :) |
