You completely missed the point.
There's a lot of open source code that isn't GPL. Many licenses don't require the code to be distributed, even if it's changed.
The sentence from the article makes it sound like all open source code is GPL.
- bo1024 14y agoYes, but the poster 'recoiledsnake' made a separate mistake, stating that modification to GPL code is required for it to be vulnerable to lawsuits. As cjbprime stated, that isn't true; using the code is enough for it to be covered.
- josephlord 14y agoDistribution not use is required for the GPL to restrict you. But you are right that modification is irrelevant.
- bo1024 14y agothanks, funny that I also made a mistake
