You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License along with the Program.
Distributing modified copies has even more strict terms.

    Okay where does it say you can't rename the software?
    Where does it say you can't say you wrote it?
    All that says is you must :
  • you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty
  • keep intact all the notices that refer to this General Public License and to the absence of any warranty
  • give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License along with the Program
    It is just as I thought ... you have no idea what you talking about.

      Maybe you missed my point. It's not going to work to pass it off as your own code to your boss, but then say "Oh, by the way, I am only letting you use this code if we keep a copy of the GPL with it." It's just a little suspicious.

        Oh I thought your point was FUD. I find it annoying that everytime someone mentions the GPL some sh*house lawyer has to spout off about violations of the GPL. You still haven't convinced me that you know what your talking about.
