While any linux kernels released to the general public by me will have full source code (as well as installable zip files)
posted at https://bitbucket.org/chadgoodman858, this site may offer linux kernels that are not to be released to the general
public. At no time is anyone, including staff, authorized to distribute any private-use kernel outside of this organization.
Since this means these kernels are only to be used internal to this organization, per GPL law as posted at
http://gpl-violations.org/faq/sourcecode-faq.html, it is written in plain, clear and simple language that I do not need to
release any source code.


When you registered, you clicked the "I agree" box at the bottom of the page, just above that box was a text box of what you, the
users, were agreeing to. Contained within that box was a summary of the agreement below, as well as a (non clickable) link to a html document
with the same information you see below.


If you decided at any time that you do not agree with these terms, please notify me, or any staff member so that we can terminate your account.


Section I – Definitions

h) source code: is defined as the entire source tree use to compile all the binaries and drivers enclosed with the software package.
This may include binaries that are not considered to be part of the core kernel.
i) kernel: is defined as the core kernel enclosed within zImage. The kernel does not include device drivers and/or external objects,
internal or external to zImage. The kernel, if released to the general public, is to licensed under GPL version 2
j) device drivers: is defined as all parts of the software package and/or zImage, other than the core kernel itself. If the device
boots without it, it is not part of the core kernel. Device drivers may contain open and/or closed source device drivers. Closed source
device driver source code will not be licensed under any GPL or GNU license agreement, and source code may not be released by any
“member” of the “organization”
k) software package: is defined as any and all parts of the published ZIP file used to install “Anthrax Kernel”, including scripts,
abootimg, and other tools not part of the “kernel” used to enhance, install, or manage the “kernel”
l) device: is defined on any piece of hardware the “software package” can be installed on, including, but not limited to: HTC REZOUND,
HTC 3D CDMA, HTC 3D GSM

Section II – Availability and Distribution
Quote:
a) “Antrax Kernel” are only available to members of the “organization”. Distribution and/or use outside of the “organization” is

with ALL GPL license requirements, as well as the restrictions in place by any non disclosure agreement(s) in place.

Section IIa – Use of binaries and source
Quote:
a) “members” are volunteers of the organization who have chosen to test “anthrax kernel” and provide valid, complete, and honest feedback
and problem reports (if needed)
b) “members” are entitled only to compiled binaries only. Sr. Principals of the “organization” are entitled to binaries and source code.

Section III – Implied non disclosure agreement
Quote:
a) “members” shall refrain from providing binaries, source, and other contents of the “software package” to anyone outside of the “organization”
b) “members” shall refrain from any attempts to decompile, reverse engineer, and/or decrypt any part of the “software package”

c) “members” who post the “software package” and/or parts of the “software package” shall be in violation of the “user agreement” and will be bound to the
rules of the GPL license agreement. Since “members” are not entitled to “source”, they will be unable to comply with GPL, the “organization” and/or
“developer” is not obligated to provide “source” to assist “members” with compiling with GPL rules. “members” will also be solely responsible for any legal
action that may come from their actions, even if the “member” is expelled from the “organization” under section IV-(a).

Does the GPL require that source code of modified versions be posted to the public?


The GPL does not require you to release your modified version, or any part of it. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing
them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the
organization.


But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL.

organization is defined as anthrax-kernels.us and/or anthrax-kernels


"anthrax kernel" is defined as the "modified versions" of the kernel. "anthrax kernel" is authorized for use by the "organization" and is not permitted to be released to the
public in any way, at any time, for any reason.

Quote:
Does the GPL allow me to develop a modified version under a nondisclosure agreement?


Yes. For instance, you can accept a contract to develop changes and agree not to release your changes until the client says ok. This is permitted because in this case no
GPL-covered code is being distributed under an NDA.


You can also release your changes to the client under the GPL, but agree not to release them to anyone else unless the client says ok. In this case, too, no GPL-covered code
is being distributed under an NDA, or under any additional restrictions.


The GPL would give the client the right to redistribute your version. In this scenario, the client will probably choose not to exercise that right, but does have the right.

the client is defined as anthrax-kernels.us and/or anthrax-kernels. "members" are volunteers for the "client" for the sole purpose of testing.


Section VIII – Release of liability
Quote:
a) “members” who use the “software package” or any portion of the “software package” do so at their own risk.
b) “members” who violate any terms of the “user agreement” are solely liable for any legal action that arises due to their actions.
c) “members” who download, use, or install the “software package” or any part of “the software package” do so understanding they are volunteers for the “organization” and
are not entitled to future releases and/or “source”
