The canonical answer is the GPL FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html > Concretely I want to ask against which kind of licenses libraries a > GPL program could link. That would be http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs > I know that there are some problems with GPL'ed projects and the > linking with OpenSSL. When is it problematic? The answer depends on who you ask, and on the precise definition of a "derived work". If you are writing a program, and want to link against a non-GPL library, it's probably safest to use a different license than the GPL for your program. Linking with 2-clause BSD or MIT licensed libraries is always OK. -- M�ns Rullg�rd [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
