Subject: | using GPL api to be used in a properietary software |
Date: | Fri, 11 Mar 2005 20:13:37 +0500 |
Hi All,
I have been reading number of archives on this list
and also the GPL license and it has created some confusions. By reading the
licence it seems that one can use the GPLed code in a propertietary closed
software IF
1) we don't bundle the GPLed API
2) we don't use it as statically linked
library
I think following are the different ways one can
use a GPLed code in a properietary code:
1) We can create an exe of the GPLed API and call
it from a properietary application. The exe gets the parameters performs its
tasks and the calling application can get the output
2) Dynamically link the GPLed library where we
provide the necessary dlls of the GPLed library and don't bundle it inside our
code. We simply use it. Any other application on the machine can also use
it.
Am I right with the following above two assumptions
?
Thanks for reading,
Wahaj
