I'm not an IP lawyer either (thank God), but merely using a published interface does not make it a derivative work. So IMO there's no problem with a GPL library making use of a BSD library, nor vice versa - just like I can write a BSD program and run it on (GPL'ed) Linux and libc. > The consequence is that the entire derivative work becomes > GPL'd as well, Only if you incorporate GPL code - and it doesn't have to be GPL, only a license that is GPL compatible (prevents any redistributer from preventing recipients from modifying the code). -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
