As a side note -- can anyone here shed light as to what the GPL says with regard to developing code based on the GPL within your organization? I mean, I would want my employees to NOT necessarily go and publish intermediate stages to the world or share them with my competitors. But then again, I am restricting my employees' freedom to do so, through a non-compete contract or something else. Is this compatible with the GPL? I guess this hinges on whether the employee installing a copy of the code in their development environment counts as "distribution". Does it?
