To be more concrete, this fails the desert island test. If I make modifications, then I have to give the initial developer a copy, even if I am physically unable to do so. This differs from the "give source if you give binaries" clause of the GPL, because if you can give binaries then it is probably not too difficult to give source. However, I thought that the QPL was judged to be free in the past. Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
