Hi. Thanks for your reply. Im using CentOS for almost 2 years, and that's the only topic is worrying me. I understand this is more a "legal" question other than technical. I mean, with GPL you have to deliver the source if you deliver a binary. But is it legal to deliver the source say one week after the binary? Thanks.
