Licensing

[ravivundavalli]

Wish to know does this violate licensing.
Qgis is just as an example, it can be Grass or Ossim or any other Open GIS as well

Example: I love Qgis and I have added some code to Qgis as a C++ programmer, thus giving the necessary customization for my specific client. I compile it and distribute the Executable, as part of my package deal.
Does this violate any license of Qgis.

IFAIK, yes: if you distribute the executables, you have to distribute also
the source, for all GPL programs.
All the best.

Hi

I'm not so sure. Because if the company only uses your code inhouse, the GNU project says:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic

Afaik there is only a problem if the company tries to sell commercial licenses of your code. But I'm not a lawyer, so feel free to correct me.

Regards,
Marco
