If you are planning on distributing your software to other people, any module you write for FreeRADIUS, and include with FreeRADIUS, must be under the GPL license. > In case, I choose not make it Open Source, is there any legal > consequence? If you distribute FreeRADIUS with your module, and your module is not GPL'd, you are breaking the license which permits you to distribute FreeRADIUS. You do not then have any legal right to distribute FreeRADIUS, or any product based on it. > My guess is that since it is seperate .so > module(dynamically loaded module) that is not part of FreeRADIUS > binary, It would not need the same licence as FreeRADIUS but I > wanted to make sure that is the case. No. The module will be linked into the server, and will be part of it. It therefore must be GPL'd. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
