Go up one level in this thread


You can use GPL code even in commercial applications, but only if you
dynamically link to the GPL code. What this means is you can't just copy/paste
code. But if the GPL code is a library you can just make calls to it. Look at
how many games use SDL for example, all you have to do is include the .dll or
.so etc

IANAL but this is how I've understood the license.
I may stand corrected.
