I think this is wrong, distributing within an organization is not considered distribution under the GPL.

- drdaeman 11y agoYes, seems that you're right. At least GPL FAQ from FSF says so. I've updated the comment.
- pnt12 11y agoI'm not sure if you can restrict your employees from distributing the code, though. I can see 2 situations: 1. Employee executes GPL binary on company's computer. I'd consider this binary to belong to owner of the computer - the company. So employee may not have the right to ask for the code. 2. Employee gets GPL binary from company, executes it in his computer. Is he forbidden to get access and distribute the source code? Can a company make restrictions around the GPL to its workers?
