  34 <PRE>Excerpts from the GPL Version 2:
  35
  36 Section 2:
  37     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  38     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  39     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  40     parties under the terms of this License.
  41
  42 Section 3:
  43     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
  44     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
  45     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
  46
  47     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
  48     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
  49     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
  50     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
  51     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
  52     customarily used for software interchange; or,
  53
  54 So to answer your question, &quot;YES,&quot; under the terms of the GPL you
  55 MUST give up the source code upon request or at least notify people
  56 were they can obtain the source code free of charge.  This does
  57 not have to be included with the binary distribution though.

  72 </I>&gt;<i> I got some bozo telling me I have to give them the source code to our
  73 </I>&gt;<i> modified services because of the GPL license.  I assume this is crap, that
  74 </I>&gt;<i> if we distributed the binary, we would also have to include the source.
  75 </I>&gt;<i> Is my assumption correct?
