"The terms of the license are, if you "redistribute", you have to release the source code to anyone that asks for it."

Exactly. If you redistribute it. If you do not, you are under no obligation to give any source code to anyone. Ergo, if I wish to create my own Linux distro to use in a simulation, I don't have to give it to, show it to, sell it to, lend it to, or rent it to anyone. Show me, in a cut-and-pasted quote, with a link (rather than your typical whiny lying) where it says otherwise. You can't and you know it, Buzzy. Give it up before you sound even more foolish.

"And here you are, unable to even properly spout the terms of the license they do this with, but still trying to defend it."

Nice try, but you're still a moron. There was no "spouting"...my irrefutable proof was cut and pasted directly from the FSF's site, the same one from which you posted a general link and gave me a vague excuse about section 3, which had nothing to do with anything.

If you have a problem with FSF's interpretation of GPL, maybe you should take it up with them. They know more way more about it than you do, despite your weak protests to the contrary.

Wanna try again, missy?

LOL, that was the actual license itself, did you not even know? What did you think it was? "A general link", LMAOOO! You don't even know what the actual license looks like, do you. And yet you call names? It really just doesn't get any more pathetic. "A general link"! HAHAHA is that not hilarious or what!

I'd call it a Flaming Death all right, a definite Crash and Burn.

You said if you redistribute it, you have to release the source code.

I said, "Exactly. If you redistribute it."

So, I agree with you, and you call it a lie?

You've wrangled this around for days now, and it still doesn't say what you want it do. Give it up.
