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.
Of course I don't know what I'm talking about. IANALATEIHSMBSI. It takes a huge chunk of your life and a criminal mind to become an IP lawyer. But it bugs me just as much when people assume open source license = public domain.
