Me neither. Here is how I understand it. I must use the GPL, because I link the extension with Epiphany at run-time, or as you say, use it "as a library". All source files in Epiphany have a license header notice "either version 2, or (at your option) any later version". This means I can use it under the terms of the GPLv3. If the notice is GPLv2 only, I am not allowed to use the GPLv3. _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
