If you're using the mediawiki api internally (running it on the server), you're linking to the program and the viric clause applies. If you're using a different client, it's an inter-process comunication, thus the client doesn't need to be gpl. Anyway, a gpl client wouldn't hurt in any way your project (it could even support it). IANAL, don't take my word on it, and so on. _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
