The short form is that you probably have to distribute the source with the binary -- say, on a CD -- or you have to offer to distribute the source for three years. That last is pretty onerous; it's probably easier to drop a CD with a copy of the source *you use*, not just the pure Debian source, into each box. Just think -- you might end up with a community of people making improvements to your firmware, and distributing them under the GPL such that you can take advantage of it. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
