I wonder if someone here could tell me in laymans terms whether or
not we
are allowed to use (unchanged) GNUstep code/libraries in an
application that
we host on a server somewhere and that people would log in to our
server and
pay to use. Is this:
The GNUstep *Libraries* are under the LGPL, which means you can use
them in any program, even non-free programs without having to give up
any rights to your non-free program. GNUstep *Tools* are under the
normal GPL, which means you need to give back any changes to the
tools or anything that uses the tools.
FYI, Even under the GPL, you can charge anything you want to use a
program, as long as you give away the source code :-)
