| Nov 21, 2020 at 18:59 | comment | added | MSalters | @IlmariKaronen: Fair point. This question is already the first Google hit for "GPL disclosure obligation", which suggests the unusual interpretation, but I can see the argument. | |
| Nov 20, 2020 at 21:21 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | The GPL does contain something that could be described as a "disclosure obligation". In particular, it effectively forbids sale (or other distribution) of compiled programs derived (fully or in part) from GPL source code unless the entire source code for those programs is made available to the buyers (or recipients). While this is not the aspect of the GPL that proprietary software vendors tend to find the most objectionable (usually that's the fact that the GPL also requires granting the buyers the right to copy and redistribute the software), it is one of the core features of the license. | |

| Nov 20, 2020 at 17:04 | comment | added | Atif Rizwan | Okay, So can I remove all the license that are subject to disclosure obligation such as GNU ? | |
