Re: [libusb] QNX support

[David G. <dav...@gm...>]

The GPL is one license that has language in it that dictates under
what conditions you can "distribute copies" of the copyrighted
software.  If you put software on a computer, that's a copy.  If you
then give the computer to someone else, you are distributing a copy of
that software, and you have to do it under a bunch of conditions, e.g.
you have to make the source code of the software available to the
recipient.  Well, that's just my understanding, and I can't find any
sources/evidence to back that up right now.
