The long answer is that it would heavily depend on just how such a module was structured[1]; the short answer is 'no'. Additionally, it is not sufficient to merely release the source code - to vastly over-simplify, the source *and* the build scripts must be released under terms which are compatible with the GPL. The GPL has other requirements that you may not find particularly appealing: the first that comes to mind is that each recipient of a GPL-licensed program is allowed to further redistribute the program under the terms of the GPL. [1] I expect that you'll excuse me for not spending the time to enumerate these options, as this would run contrary to our interests. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
