Yes you have to. Like red hat. Thats why we had cent os. They are modified and 
compiled version of redhat enterprise sources which accessible from internet.

Becuse you may say. Yes We use GPL licence and we provide soruce code with 
5.,25 single side (360k total cap) floppy disks.

Providing encoded and non necoded versions of same code was non sense and you 
are right. Let say someting like this.

You have to provide source code otherwise you violate GPL Licence. If your 
source code contains GPL code your code automatically uses GPL licence.

I think my english shotage leads mis understandings.


TYPO3 extension was GPL and your external code does not...

like this.
--- CODE
require_once(PATH_tslib.'class.tslib_pibase.php');
class tx_nongplinjector extends tslib_pibase {
	var $prefixId      = 'tx_nongplinjector';		//--- Same as class name
	var $scriptRelPath = 'class.tx_nongplinjector.php';	//--- Path to this script 
relative to the extension dir.
	var $extKey        = 'nongplinjector';			//--- The extension key.
	#var $pi_checkCHash = TRUE;

	/**
	 * The main method of the PlugIn
	 *
	 * @param	string		$content: The PlugIn content
	 * @param	array		$conf: The PlugIn configuration
	 * @return			The content that is displayed on the website
	 */
	function main($content,$conf)	{
		ob_start();
		if(is_file($conf['non_gpl_code_file'])) {
			require($conf['non_gpl_code_file'])
		}
		$content = ob_get_clean();
		return $content;
	}
}
--- CODE END

This code was gpl and you can include non gpl code with it.
