i dont really get your problem. my understanding is that the idea of the gpl is that if you derive work from a gpl licensed project is that that change will also be under gpl and you make the sourcecode available.
no? whenever we bugfix something in ghostscript, that change will also be under gpl. and you make the source available for that change. on the other hand, calling the ghostscript interpreter as a external program, i dont think that would force your program kiosk to be gpl licensed (for example page(1) would be in the same situation... it calls all kinds of external image converters, including ghostscript). so why not just have the source of everything available? for me, your project isnt any different from a specialized plan9 distribution, consisting of a mix of differently licensed projects, including your kisok program. as long as you provide the source to the gpl components (or just everything, much easier) you should be fine, no? -- cinap ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T3e07bfdf263a83c8-M73f4a2cc39790881812134c4 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
