1: World Bank

Some time ago, when ArsDigita released ACS WB used ACS on their developmentgateway.org website and were recommending ACS for country gateways. I am not software expert myself and cannot judge if they are still using ACS or they moved to another engine. If they use ACS with some additional development are they obliged to release improvements or can public ask them to release?

I just visited the website and they are still using the ACS ecommerce package, at least.

They are only obliged to release improvements if they distribute the software themselves - improvements used internally for the website but not distributed to others can be kept private.  This is how the GPL license works.

I just noticed that Don's subject is World Bant... nothing to do.  Sorry for the trash :)
