Hi Thu
That would sound like 'private use' to me[1] which is permitted by the
GPL. If the client later wanted to *distribute* the agglomerated work
the GPL would apply. Distribution being the key point, as at that
stage the client is no longer using the agglomeration privately.
Best wishes

[1] insert the usual caveats for 'interpretation' - I'm not a lawyer,
your mileage may vary, etcetera. Similar the limits on 'client' would
need some definition vis-a-vis distribution, one person would surely
be fine, extrapolating up to multi-national companies I'm not sure.

I'd like to point out a possible situation, that makes the questions even more interesting.
Say the author of Y (the BSD licensed code) is used to install its code, Y, along of its requisite X (under GPL) to customer locations. Note that Y and X are not (re)distributed in compiled form. In fact, the client could have the internal resource to install and configure Y and its requisite himself (if Y was made available to him).
Is it ok in regard of the GPL ?
Cheers, Thu
