Subject: newbie- a question regarding GPL
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 11:02:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F73AC39.3080505@hq.ntsp.nec.co.jp> (raw)
Is it safe to use GPL'ed api's in ur code? safe in the sense that one is
not required to attach the GPL agreement in the code header..
A fellow programmer raised it once, saying that we need to refrain from
using GPL'ed api's because ultimately the code will become GPL'ed too..
But i thought the code only becomes(or is required to be) GPL'ed when
it contains modifications of gpl'ed code... or direct variations of it?
I thought it was safe to use GPL api's when u use them only as separate
imported modules(without mods)?
