Hello all
Being new to GPL i thought i better ask.

Is it legal to install OpenWRT on a x86 pc,configure it as hotspot and sell it?(sell the whole package)
I read some posts and GPL license and as far as i understand i must give to the customer a cd with all the source code.
This includes my configuration files too?
If i don't change any binaries,should i give the source cd to the customer?
If i change the .html files of a program (included in openwrt) adding .php code should i give them too?

I am asking because i've read about some lawsuite's :-)
Better safe than sorry

Thank you in advance
Angel Tsavdaris

You can do everything you want to the code, but you need to keep the copyright stuff and make the source available for everyone. I don't really know about configfiles but it would be safer to give the whole source packages, e.g. do a make dirclean (this doesn't remove configs, right?) and a tar cj $openwrtdir > archive.tar.bz2

Bye
David
