Hello,
I am curious about exactly what the GPL applies to. I know someone who has a copy of openSuSE, and therefor has agreed to the GPL license.
He has made modifications to the distro, "repackaged it" he says. I assume this means he has just added/removed/configured packages on the vm. Does he own the copyright on the vm? Can he forbid people that he gives a copy of the vm to from redistributing it?
