Dear Friends,
I have few questions.
1. I have a device on which I have installed CentOS 5.2 as an operating 
system. Now I want to sell this device. Will there be any issue ?
points to keep in mind:
a. There are no changes in OS. (it is just a stripped down image of original 
OS)
b. I have installed few generic user space applications of my own installed 
in that OS.

I do not want to violate GPL or any other licenses. That's why to make sure 
I want to confim from you folks.
Thanks
Puneet

Hi,


IMHO, if I understand the GPL lic correctly, in general you may ask what you 
want, but you MUST provide ALL sources including your modified and or added 
applications, and include no other lic restrictions than the GPL lic itself.

If you want to keep you apps closed source, than you should consult a GPL 
specialist layer. It makes a difference how the application is build and or 
linked against other libs.

Can anyone confirm or improve the above 2 liner statement?

Recent GPL lic disputes all boilled down to not providing the (modified) 
sources....
