I looked into this a while back and my understanding was: * If you link to a library released under the GPL terms, then you cannot sell your product commercially.
* But if the library is released under the LGPL terms (which are different), then it is OK to sell your product commercially. * If your software uses a GPL library that is hosted on a server then that is fine for commercial software. * But if your user needs to download the GPL software (or you want to include it in your download bundle) then your product cannot be sold commercially if it links to it. As mentioned above these are just my conclusions, and I am not a lawyer. ----- -- Scott McDonald "Components, Controls, Tools and Resources for LiveCode" www.runrevplanet.com -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Rev-Livecode-project-and-GPL-Licenses-tp3445643p3451250.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
