Here is a Q&A vignette published by the FSF covering most, if not all, of what I posted: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html I think the only thing that might not be mentioned is the fact that distributors have the right to charge you for handling, copying to a medium, and shipping of the code - but that is covered in the GPL itself. I hope this helps! I didn't want to muddle the issue, or even send you off into reading the FAQ. I wanted to help clarify what seemed to be a misunderstanding. What I posted earlier, I hoped was just the salient points - to help clear things up. I hope the FAQ does a better job! Have a good one!
