Is it legal to discuss the new idea on gdb public mailing list, where idea may be already implemented in organisation but person does not belong to the organisation. and the organisation has used gdb and modified gdb undder GPL licensing terms. Is there anyway the organisation can legally take action claiming that the idea was first implemeted in the organisation (though have taken open source gdb and modified it under GPL) ? so having set out the context, can such ideas be discussed? Regards, Oza.
