  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>I got some bozo telling me I have to give them the source code to our
  35 </I>&gt;<i>modified services because of the GPL license.  I assume this is crap, that
  36 </I>&gt;<i>if we distributed the binary, we would also have to include the source.
  37 </I>&gt;<i>Is my assumption correct?
  38 </I>
  39      I'm not sure exactly what you're saying, but there is no requirement
  40 that you give the source to anyone who asks for it; as you say, the
  41 requirement is that _if_ you distribute the binary, _then_ you must _also_
  42 provide the source.  If you don't want to distribute your modifications at
  43 all, there's no problem with that.  (Of course, if you've made useful
  44 changes I don't see a reason _not_ to release them, but that's up to you.)
