Not at all true. It's copyright infringement if you're not following a license contract, of which the GPL is.

- vlovich123 5y agoThe GPL contract only says you have to distribute source to the users you give binaries to. The only people who can ask for said source are the people receiving those binaries and the only people who have standing to sue when that doesn’t happen is the copyright owners. That’s why you can use GPL software in your private CI system and not need to give anyone the source code.
- pabs3 5y agoHopefully the SFC lawsuit against Vizio will set the precedent that any recipient of GPL binaries has standing to sue: https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html
