A strange exception - somewhat at odds with the GPL's goals, surely? - but it doesn't seem to follow from the text of the GPL itself.
- Mikeb85 13y agoNo, I'm talking about the licence. > Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations. > To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. > All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. > You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
- to3m 13y agoThanks. This text is not in GPL v2 (don't ask me why I wasn't looking at v3, I suppose in my mind that's still "the new one that nobody seems to be using yet").
