[App_rpt-users] Using SVN copy of Asterisk on RaspberryPi (and "usb.h")

Sat Oct 13 18:43:01 UTC 2012

Umm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the GPL ***require*** that source be made freely available? So, like, if you ask for the source code from which a program is compiled, you should be able to easily get it without anyone giving you any trouble? OK, so if they don't include it in the main distro for space consideration reasons, is it not a violation of the license for it to not be freely available somewhere? Doesn't just mean the unmodified source, but the source for any modifications that were made, also falling under the GPL. No?
