Let's try a different example. There is a gplv2+ library that I would love to use in a closed source application. If I then write a thin bsd-licensed library which primary purpose is to be a bsd licensed interface to the gplv2+ library, would that be fine ? Let's say: commercial app links with bsd library links with gplv2+ library. I don't think that's fine. It would also be a loophole the size of a small star in the gpl. No. I think the licensing is transitive. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
