Dear all, I'm supporting the open source compliance verification for a closed-source software product that aims to adopt an older version of Bacula that is under GPL 2.
To clarify, the Bacula source code is not modified in any manner or form. The product launches the Bacula binaries through a cron task on daily basis to perform the daily backup and an alarm message is raised when case the logs show that something went wrong. From my perspective this becomes an ambiguous case of compliance since a part of the functionality required for the software product to fulfill is provided by a software component under GPL terms. What is your opinion? Does the described usage counts as a GPL compliant usage of the GPL Bacula within a closed-source system?
