But first of all, Guido said that this was bad style anyway ;-), and then,
there's a script out there that checks code for these things (don't know how
perfect it works).
Anyway, something else: Could somebody please comment if the following is
correct:
- Linking GPL C code with Python2.0 license C code violates the GPL.
+ Linking LGPL C code with Python2.0 license C code is no problem.
(since the LGPL doesn't infect a greater work)
+ Running GPL Python code on Python2.0 is no problem as well.
+ Running Python2.0 license-style Python code on a GPL Python1.52 would be
no problem.
I.e. the only problem is where compiled GPL and Python2.0 code will be
mixed.
Is there an agreement about this ?
