Hello,
This question has been asked multiple times I know. From what I understand, broadly speaking, if I include a GPL module in my app, I have to also release my app's source code for free.
Now if the module is a java app (which I have modified) and included in my own java app, and say I use it as an applet on my website, do I need to distribute the source code to all the users visiting the website? Can I distribute the code only to people who ask for it?
If I sell my applet, do I need to distribute the source code to all the users or ONLY to the users who purchase my applet?
Thank you very much for your time.
