Re: Questions regarding licensing issues
Hi Robert,
There are two comfortable ways to conform to the GPL.
a) make all your own stuff GPL'ed
b) write proprietary code, that links in only modules with
the standard library exception.
I guess I'm naturally going for b), that was the original intention.
Anything else, and you are prettty much on your own. Especially
if trying to rig up some system that has full-GPL components, and
non-GPL components.
One easy and clear way to solve this, is to deliver separate products.
Was also possible with GPL,v2.
Even a) and b) are a little tricky if you don't have a well defined
entity that can guarantee the licensing of the modules you use (remember
that notices within files do not have legal weight).
Yes, of course.
Best regards,
Nikolaos Kavvadias
