I've always used GPL, but never really understood how "viral" it was. I'll need to think about this some more, and maybe even ask my LUG. At any rate, I'll be forced to use GPL for anything that touches JUMP or OpenJUMP code to closely, which will be a lot of stuff. SS On 6/21/07, Martin Davis <

Martin, Thanks for this great clarification. I believe in my particular case I will have to release the converter code under the GPL, since I will be linking directly to JUMP code to do the conversion. I'll have to consider how important it is to use GPL for other code I write that isn't tied as

I don't think you can develop code that links in GPL code under anything except GPL. See here: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html#GPLAndPlugins LGPL is weaker than GPL, so you can't release an actual plugin class (which uses the JUMP API's) as LGPL. However, I think what you can do is p

The only problem would be if you used SS's new classes in a commercial application. Which in fact would be unlikely as they would not be allowed to use the JUMP code anyway because it is GPL. I think the rule is commercial apps can use LGPL libraries but not GPL ones. I took another approach fo
