Just out of curiosity, If I base a commercial project on a GPL project
1) Are their any restrictions on profits generated?
2) If I never sell or otherwise distribute my code do I have to release my
code?
Example: If I set up a database of education institutions with licensed slides
of famous art, and then charged for membership so these institutions could
distribute their work to each other. And 30% of the code I used came from a
dead source forge project. Or the model (either the business model or the
site/code model) came from a dead open source project. Would I have to
release my code under the GPL? And what does release entail?
And if I did not use GPL models, but I have been known to read GPL models can
some one who latter finds a similar GPL model sue me (or more importantly my
customers) to open said code under the assumption that I may have seen said
model and inadvertently integrated its concepts into my work?
Thanks :)
Signed,
To lazy to read the GPL for himself ;)
