Re: RES: [Dev-C++] Does anybody have experience with GPL?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

If you post just a binary, you have to be prepared to handle requests for
the source for a reasonable copying fee and within a reasonable time
frame. In short, if you publish the binary, you should publish the source
too at the same time.

The goal of the GPL is about the freedom of the receiver, i.e. that they
should have the freedom to fix bugs themselves, or add missing features
etc. Obviously, that requires access to the source.

Why do you want to keep the source for 6 months? Do you need time to clean
up the code, or are there other issues at hand?

By the way - it is normally best to include the list in the exchanges, to
avoid redundant answers or comments.
