Hi @all!
I do not know all the legal aspects of the GPL but I could imagine that you cannot publish a software under the GPL and disallow to take copies of the software at the same time. That would contradict the GPL, wont it? In this case, I suppose, software and hardware are easily sepereatable. (?)
regards, Axel

Hi all,
Lets say I have developed an GPL'd application and put it on some hardware, a pda. I then let someone borrow the pda, and NOT giving him/her permission to take a copy of the application. Must I still give that person the source code?
If the person pays a smaller amount of money for the time he/she uses the pda, does the answer from the previous question still apply?
Sincerely, Fredrik
