RE: [Ccrtp-devel] ccRTP (and commoncpp) GPL linking exception ..

[Thomas Raschbacher]

Thanks for the fast answer.
So basically if I make any changes/fixes (e.g. neither commoncpp nor ccrtp 
would compile as-is with visual studio 2008 so I had to change project files 
and apply 1 or 2 small fixes) I'll have to make those available as normal, but 
just using the library (I assume it doesn't matter if static or dynamic) is 
fine without having the GPL apply to the rest of my code. Correct?

Regards,
