Yo /tech/, what's the run down on license compliance? Speaking specifically about the GPL v2 license. Can I

>take a software licensed under GPL v2

>compile it as a dynamic library object

>link against it in my software

>distribute my software as a binary along with the GPL'd dynamic library,

>only include source code for the GPL'd dynamic library,

>license my software under something else

?

>>843271 (OP)

Technically nothing stops you from static compiling GPL software into your software and keeping it closed source.

As long as you don't later on don't hire some FOSS autist and give him acess to the source and thus opportunity to report you, you're good.

But if I dynamic link, then I can still use the GPL'd software within the license and be free to license my software with whatever I want?


 No.843285>>843287 >>843304

No. Your code requires to be linked against that GPL source code to be run, and so it is a part of your program (or something alone those lines, but that's the idea). You can only do something like this with the LGPL.

It's GPL, but most of it is just that they have never decided to enforce this. Proprietary drivers are probably a violation of the kernel's license, but Torvalds has stated an intention to not press action as long as they only use explicit kernel APIs.

It would be sane to add an explicit exception to the license, but Linus doesn't want to do this, and he would have to get permission from an insane amount of people to legally be able to do it across the entire kernel.

Here's a mail from Torvalds on the subject (You only really have to worry about the topmost one, but can read as much as you want for extra context): http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/gpl_modules.html

 No.843431>>844026

>>843324

The reason why this works is if you don't distribute the GPL dynamic library, you're not distributing the GPL library thus you're not bound by the GPL! I don't know anybody who would do something as retarded as shipping a proprietary binary that is supposed to link to a GPL program and then include user instructions to manually link them together.

>he would have to get permission from an insane amount of people to legally be able to do it across the entire kernel.

If it was his will, it would be done. Any code that is not compatible with the licensing change would be excised and rewritten and Torvalds is no stranger to doing that. He simply doesn't care to get it done.

How is distribution defined?

Do manual instructions for downloading and linking the program constitute distribution?

What about a separate binary that checks for dependencies, and if dependencies don't match, it asks the user to download and install them? Is that considered distributing GPL software?

Ok.

>A “computer program” is a set of statements or instructions to be used directly or indirectly in a computer in order to bring about a certain result.

>“Literary works” are works, other than audiovisual works, expressed in words, numbers, or other verbal or numerical symbols or indicia, regardless of the nature of the material objects, such as books, periodicals, manuscripts, phonorecords, film, tapes, disks, or cards, in which they are embodied.

>“Publication” is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display, constitutes publication. A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication.

>

>To perform or display a work “publicly” means---

>

>(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or

>

>(2) to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or display of the work to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times.

Thanks.

Your link gave me some questions, but after reading the definitions really quick, I got my answer.
