Re: The Free Unices (GPL restrictions)
"If the linux GPL is like the GNU General Public License, then that is
neither a correct nor fair representation of it, in a fundamental way. As
i understand it, the GPL allows any amount of resale and redistribution of
the code to which it is applied, but with one very specific restriction -
source code must be provided along with executables. Am i mistaken - does
the Linux version actually prohibit resale?"
The GPL allows resale and redistribution without restrictions. The whole
point of the GPL is that the only restriction is that you cannot take
away these freedoms of resale and redistribution.
