Subject: | [DotGNU]Licensing question. |
Date: | Sat, 16 Oct 2004 21:08:28 +0200 |
Hello.
I'm not sure whether this mailing list is
a good place to ask this question, but anyway, i'll give it a try.
1. On DotGNU homepage ( there is the
following statement:
As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to
copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice,
provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and
conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module
which is not derived from or based on this library.(...)
2. Consider the following
scenario:
I've written a toolkit/framework and
an application based on that framework. Both are written in C#. They use .NET
services like "System.Drawing", "System.Windows.Forms" etc.
3. My question is: if I use DotGNU to make
my toolkit/framework and my application work under Linux, do they fall in the
category of the above-mentioned "independent module" ?? Can I freely use
dotGNU to adapt {Windows/.NET closed-source, commercial applications} to run
under Linux??? Are there any limitations??
Answer to this question is very important
for me and my development team... so please give a reply or redirect me to
another place where I could ask my question.
TIA.
