And where does it say you get to redistribute someone elses code? I have read through it, I'm the one who quoted such sources a year ago when this popped up.
You're paraphrasing, IF XYZ commits a crime, I too get to commit that crime and it's no longer a crime. That's not the way it works. He's required to give out the source code, that DOES NOT allow you to resell his code or give it out for free.
You literally quoted articles supporting that you have to give out the source, not that you can resell it or give away HIS source for free. Once again I never said he doesn't need to give out his source (I've literally said opposite of that multiple times), what we're discussing is the legality of someone giving out his code and reselling HIS work. GPL code is just GPL code, it doesn't include his changes as far as being able to redistribute it.
Pretty big difference here. I suggest you actually read the post you're responding to before copy/pasting answers.
Since you can't be bothered to read the links...
The GPL is a free software license, and therefore it permits people to use and even redistribute the software without being required to pay anyone a fee for doing so.
You can charge people a fee to get a copy from you. You can't require people to pay you when they get a copy from someone else.
Also:
If I distribute GPL'd software for a fee, am I required to also make it available to the public without a charge? (#DoesTheGPLRequireAvailabilityToPublic)
No. However, if someone pays your fee and gets a copy, the GPL gives them the freedom to release it to the public, with or without a fee. For example, someone could pay your fee, and then put her copy on a web site for the general public.
Also:
Does the GPL allow me to distribute copies under a nondisclosure agreement? (#DoesTheGPLAllowNDA)
No. The GPL says that anyone who receives a copy from you has the right to redistribute copies, modified or not. You are not allowed to distribute the work on any more restrictive basis.
And:
Does the GPL allow me to distribute a modified or beta version under a nondisclosure agreement? (#DoesTheGPLAllowModNDA)
No. The GPL says that your modified versions must carry all the freedoms stated in the GPL. Thus, anyone who receives a copy of your version from you has the right to redistribute copies (modified or not) of that version. You may not distribute any version of the work on a more restrictive basis.
Seriously. If you still persist saying you have read this, you clearly have not. It's plain as fucking day, spelled out in very simple English. And it says it over, and over, and over. You'd have to be blind as a bat to miss this if you had actually read it. I didn't even include all the references, there are a bunch more.
