Hi Joshua, >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. yes, I think that way it can be possible... But he must do it then differently, like adding the Nalimov-TBs as a .dll and not the source of them, else it would be from now on also GPL. Maybe Thomas can ask the List or Aristarch programmer if he can use there .dll... Or of course create a .dll himself. Anyway, all I have heard so far about GPL is, that it isn't as easy as one might think... Greets, Thomas
