Hi all, This is addressed to Mr. Craig, or to anyone else who might know the answer. (I searched the archives but didn't see the specific situation covered.) Assume I liscense the source code for Eu 2.3. Upon skimming it, I find a bug in the code... this ISN'T an expected situation, but illustrates the point. :) Am I allowed to post a bug fix to the list for others who have the source? Or would that fall under the definition of redistribution of the source? What about general modifications, i.e., I find that printf() can be sped up via by a slight change in the code, and want to share the change. I already assume that if I add a feature I think others will want I can release the source for that particular routine and just point out where/how to insert it into the standard source, by taking care not to actually detail the source or quote the line to insert after. In sum, I guess I'm asking how much change will the RDS source have to undergo before it's no longer RDS source and legally available for release? Rod Jackson
