DFSG Par. 9 and GPL "Virulogical" effekt
Hi,
the DFSG Paragraph 9 says:
9. License Must Not Contaminate Other Software
The license must not place restrictions on other software that is
distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the
license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the
same medium must be free software.
A restriction could be that you have to publish all "parts" of the program
under the same license as the GPL says - This Discussion has been fought
in the QT vs. GPL debate and has ended in QPL and GPL not be compatible
which in my eyes shows the "Contamination" of QT from GPL based programs.
Comments ?
