What does it mean to "distribute" software?
Distributing software includes giving it to customers, contractors, parent companies, subsidiaries, or any other legal entity. Note that when licensing Ice under GPLv2, you can distribute your Ice-based software under GPLv2 only if all of its dependencies have open-source licenses compatible with GPLv2.
