This is, surprisingly since it's from the faq, incorrect. Here's the relevant text from the GPLv2 > a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, > b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, > c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) C doesn't apply here (it's not non commercial, they didn't receive it like that, ...). A doesn't apply here unless they start just giving every customer the source. So we're in case B which requires them to give it to any third party. (IANAL) |
