licensing - You can sell open source software as long as you provide 'code'. Does that include project files and other metadata? -


so after reading blender (a freely downloadable application) being sold company learned apparently legal because of gnu gpl license allows this.

i'm wondering constitutes 'code' in case? need include build scripts or project files? resources (or assets) static logos , images?

there's no rule in gpl against (re)selling free/open soure software, slashdot article linked suggests company obscuring fact code gpl'd. gpl states have make license clear, , make easy copy of source.

and i'm pretty sure "code" in case means need rebuild project, possibly modifications. however, project or company can trademark name or logo (mozilla famously firefox) no 1 else can call fork same name.
