hi,
According to the gpl faq, and I dont like their interpretation (lawyers
have said they misquote some of the underlying laws as well so meh) php
code that is interpreted is 'linking' to the mysql code because php
provides bindings to these libraries.
As such you may write 100% your own code but if it uses libraries the
FSF will say you must issue a compatible license, although this has
never been tested in court and I really doubt that anyone would even go
as far as to suggest that code that you wrote 100% must fall under the
gpl because of something like that...
I can't read this from the license? I would consider that if you use
libraries or other GPL'ed modules you would need to offer these, but you
can still offer your own code under a different license - And think
about it how much code exist that don't use portions of GPL'er libraries?
if digium took openpbx guys to court for following the gpl, which they
are doing they would cause more problems for themselves than for the
openpbx guys. There are no software patents taken there is no code
being used without a license. If digium didnt want the gpl for their
license they shouldnt have picked it,
Sorry, I was not thinking about the openpbx guys directly (thought I
wrote so). My concern was more that since Digium claim a commercial
license on Asterisk there would be a conflict if someone start selling a
binary version of OpenPBX.
