Lit Review 7: GPL Guide Chapter 12 Section 1

This time we are looking at Chapter 12 Section 1. It is a little short, but let's take a look

Who:

The GPL Guide was written by Bradley M. Kuhn, Anthony K. Sebro Jr., and Denver Gingerich

What:

The usage of Free Software in the Workplace

Where:

You can find the section here.

When:

The GPL Guide was last updated in 2014, though the document itself doesn't specify when.

The Gist:

As long as you are not actively redistributing the code, you can propagate the code among your company as much as you want really.

The Good:

• Simple topic with short answer
• Entirely clear on subject

The Bad:

• The brevity means that there is little in the way of substance

Any Questions?

• While it seems not, is there any limit at all on what you can do with the code?

In Conclusion:

Free Software is free and you can use it as you see fit as long as you aren't trying to push it somewhere else. All in all, fairly straight-forward and to the point. 10/10
