+<PRE>&gt;<i> Therefore, the current development code is in the public
+</I>&gt;<i> domain, therefore should be published.
+</I>
+I find two things confusing about this sentence.
+
+1) Something that is under GPL is explicitly NOT in the public
+domain, as something under the GPL suffers substantially more
+restrictive licensing than something that is in the public
+domain. Basically, if it's in the PD, you can do what you want
+to it, except POSSIBLY not mis-represent the origin. The GPL
+imposes many more strictures on your use of the code.
+
+2) The GPL only requires that source code is made available
+free of charge to anyone who purchases binaries, and that no
+restrictions are made on the purchaser's rights to use that
+source code (including subsequent redistribution). If Ryzom is
+not for sale to anyone, then there is no requirement for the
+developers thereof to make any source code available.
+
+Now, the GPL may have changed slightly since I last read it
+through in full, but your statement does not seem to be based
+on the actual language of the GPL.
