>We're the US Government. Software we develop, is in some sense "owned" by

>license prevents us from 1) letting anyone else *see* our source code, 2)
>letting anyone else *use* our source code, or 3) *give* anyone else our

>In that sense it "captures" or binds you to specific terms and/or actions.
> The GPL does too, in that if you use GPL code, then if you distribute
>binaries or code you derive from the GPL code, you must give the source
>code also.

>What they're saying is that meeting the GPL conditions is a minor issue,
