Left a FreeBSD boxen sitting at home in KL with an FXO port to a Telekom line, and used to make calls from overseas thru SIP/IAX. But alas, the boxen was old and went MIA months ago, lol... I suspect the HDD died (it was problematic even way back then), it&#39;s not responding to ping etc. Noone at home with the skillxorz to troubleshoot it (though I had my mom do a hard restart a few times). Oh well.

I&#39;m under contract to company X. I&#39;m asked to extend software Y (which is released under the GNU GPL license) and my extensions (Z) derives from sources of Y, i.e. I use source code from Y as a starting point. My extension in the end takes the form of a handful of patch files (i.e. diffs) and 2 standalone source files. MUST the extension Z therefore also be released under the GNU GPL license? Can X choose to distribute the 2 standalone .o files purely in binary form? The code contained within the 2 standalone files is not derived from any GNU GPL sources.<br /><br />Now, assuming that the GNU GPL does apply to the entire code base of the extension that I produced (Z), do I have the right to distribute the sources? My understanding is that the GPL only obligates that the sources of Z accompany the binaries of Z, so X only has to give Z sources to customers who receive the Z extension. However do I, who produced Z while under contract to X, have the right to distribute the sources any way I like? <br /><br />An extreme example... lets say I&#39;m working for someone else now, can I bring the sources for Z into the new company for use in their products? The issue here is whether I have the right to distribute GNU GPL source code which I produced under contract to X.<br /><br />I would appreciate any comments anyone has on this issue, thanks&#33; int19h Linux &amp; Open Source Software Sun, 05 Jun 2005 17:10:04 +0800
