I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of the GPL is that any component that links to a GPL program must also release under the GPL. The obvious example of this in Nant is tasks. However, I'm trying to figure out if the same applies to my build script. Although it's XML, it could still be considered a program. After all, it has conditional execution, dynamic linking, and lots of other features found in other programming languages.
This is potentially a very big deal to me, as some contexts in which I work do no allow GPL code to be checked into the source tree. Obviously, the build script is a very important artifact that needs source control. Can anyone provide guidance here? Is my build script constrained to be GPL the way tasks would be? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
