[Gnuplot-info] use and distribution of binary gnuplot in servers/systems sold to customers, what to do?

[Michael L. <Mic...@sc...>]

Good afternoon,

We intend to use gnuplot as (tiny) part of a larger software suite we're developing. Gnuplot would be shipped in binary form (from the SLES repository) with the server hosting our software.

>From your page's FAQ entry (1.7) it seems that this would be a perfectly fine use and distribution of gnuplot.
However, as far as I interpret the "Copyright" file from the sourcecode tarball that is only fine, "provided that the [...]copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation".
What do we need to do, to conform to this requirement? Would it be sufficient to distribute the sourcecode tarball or even just the copyright file with our software?


Cheers,
Michael Lenz
