If I link to some GPLed code I understand that I have to licence my code under the GPL too. If I then distribute my program I understand that I also have to distribute the source code as well. Under the GPL, do I also have to distribute the source publicly too? That is, do I have to make the code available to _anyone_ who asks for it or can I restrict distribution of the source only to the people I distribute the program to? Is this the same for all "Open Source" licences? For example, the Apache Licence, Mozilla Licence or BSD licence. I know that probably none of you are lawyers so I will not take anyone's answers as any sort of legal advice but I would be grateful to hear your opinions on this subject. -- simon colston
