+<PRE>Hi,
+
+&gt;<i> Of course, I understand your need to keep Ryzom &quot;secret&quot;
+</I>&gt;<i> until it is done, releasable and sellable, so that you can put food on
+</I>your
+&gt;<i> plates (and buy big cars for your Venture Capital people), yet, isn't this
+</I>&gt;<i> secrecy a violation of the GPL, since Ryzom is GPL'd?
+</I>
+No it isn't. If oneday, we *distribute* Ryzom program and if Ryzom uses a
+GPL library, in this case, we have to give the source of Ryzom. But today,
+we don't distribute Ryzom, so we don't have to give the source. Look the GPL
+licence, it's based on distribution.
