A simple reading of the GPL text maks it clear that if you make use of GPL
software you must provide the same to your "downstream" clients. Charles
Wilson is correct.

"Cease and desist" letters are the initial legal step.  However, all that
needs to be done to avoid any legal action is to put the source on the
"offending" web site.
