Despite some other replies here, I think you probably can, though you can't copy the comments. Note that I am not a lawyer. And, that said, don't do it, and don't do a clean room reimplementation either. Respect the wishes of the original author, or explicitly ask permission. The free software community runs on respect for coders. Don't breach that respect. > Also, Can I in my BSD licensed GO project, link to GPLv2 library ? Despite some other replies here, the answer to the question is definitely yes, as long as you respect the requirements that the two licenses impose on the fully linked program. People link BSD and GPLv2 code together all the time. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
