Licence for Desktop Service Software ??

[Antonello Lobianco]

Thanks for the reply.. I am not in the law domain but if I undestood correcty 
you claim that a licence of the software like the GPL+clause of mandatory 
redistribution of source code in case of redistribution of products/services 
("results") obtained with a modified version of the software woult it make 
the software not only GPLv3 incompatible but also would make it not 
being "free software" ?

Which of the basic "freedoms" would it be broked ?

I spent only few days in this matters, but I understood that a licence is 
compatible when the additional code add a restriction (eg. LGPL->GPL) and is 
uncompatible in the opposite case.. or am I going to simple ?? 

thanks,
  Antonello
