New No, Drew. YOU did.
You are renting me a box.

You are licensing me to use the box.

The box has a copy of the binary.

You have licensed me a COPY of the binary.

the GPL LICENSE applies. Other licenses do not supercede it.

Next.

Time-share is NOT distributing a binary, though. If your modified binary is being used, and the binary has not been copied, moved, lives, exists, or has otherwise been transferred, there is no distribution of said binary. It's only being used, and USE is NOT distribution, however you may want to redefine the word.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Yeah, I was agreeing with you
If we go down the path of defining a web service as distribution for the purposes of GPLv3, what's to stop Oracle from taking whatever GPLv2 tools they want, packaging them up with their product, and providing that on a managed box you rent from them? Think any businesses would go for that package? I do.
