| odra | Hey | 19:13 |
| odra | Nobody home... | 19:47 |
| odra | Should I license my newly made program under GPLv3 or v2? | 19:48 |
| xnox | odra: depends on the libraries you use. Some might be incompatible with v2 (e.g. apache v2) others might be incompatible with Gplv3 (e.g. lgpl v2) | 20:07 |
| xnox | sorry gpl2 is incompatible with gplv3 that is. | 20:07 |
| odra | xnox: That sounds weird | 20:44 |
| odra | I thought you could use libraries with incompatible licenses | 20:44 |
| odra | But you couldn't use their code in yours with an incompatible license | 20:44 |
| odra | GAHHHH :C | 20:49 |
| odra | Configure/makefile is hard | 20:49 |
| odra | Or I'm dumb | 20:50 |
| xnox | odra: no, you cannot link gpl library against proprietary software. Similarly you cannot link gplv2 against gplv3 project. | 20:53 |
| xnox | odra: similarly one cannot link openssl to gpl applications/libraries. | 20:53 |
| odra | xnox: :| | 20:54 |
| xnox | odra: see: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatIsCompatible | 20:54 |
| odra | xnox: This | 20:54 |
| odra | Sounds all stupid | 20:54 |
| odra | To me. | 20:54 |
| odra | Free software that restrains programs to their licenses. The irony! | 20:54 |
| xnox | odra: permissive licenses usually allow one to do anything, even relicense and make it propriatary. strong copyleft licenses (e.g. gpl) are often considered "to spread like a virus" because they force everyone to release any source modifications & to release further software as free software as well. | 21:34 |
| xnox | odra: e.g. if for example that was not the case you'd see a lot of apps where "core" functionality is open-sourced, yet "mobile frontend" is proprietary pay-for-software, which would suck a lot. | 21:35 |
