If I try to make money off selling Apache with my module or PHP then I run afoul of the intent of the GPL. The GPL does not forbid anyone from making money by selling software. It only requires that an offer of source code be made.

Can a durable physical medium include cassettes, floppies?
I could have phrased that better. If I decide to sell my software with custom modifications but do not offer to show the source. Then I am afoul of the GPL. -- Alvin Starr || land: (905)513-7688 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||
