The short of it is quite simple: if you based anything on GPLed software, you MUST provide the source code to your software upon request. The legalities of this simple concept go on at great length, and periodically new revisions of the GPL appear as holes are found and fixed.

Having worked on software for a major outfit for 30 years I really want to puke when I hearexcuses like that. your diabetes must really be affecting your vision if it took you two times to realize the mistake (the refill in the computer would have been the same prescription as the original.)You're making assumptions and you know what they say about people makingassumptions ....My previous lancets were "standard" but incorrectly labeled and entered intheir puter by them as "fine".As with all your posts, this does not ring true. You leavesomething out, or refuse to admit your fault in it. Reality of thematter is, it could have been written that way on the prescription.Hell I would not doubt it if the Doc told you to use the finelancets and you tried to get the pharmacy to change it. In any event I don't know of any pharmacies that will allow returns/exchanges on needles/lancets or other materials related to blood. pesky laws.Well - just shows how little you know - of course they readily admitted itwas their mistake - but you are missing the POINT - they can't correct theirsystem !!!!! Focus baby, focus !!!You never said that in your post, all you said is you asked them tochange it, and they refused. You also now say that you have beenworking as a programmer for the last 30 years, but earlier you saidyou were a farmer, and also a salesman. Please explain how you canhold so many full time jobs with being a farmer?And if you are a programmer, kindly tell me the bangroot.--~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you think you know me, you don't..........Satirically yours**Worst feeling in the world?
