GPL means you have to release source to your game.
LGPL - well since it was written or C type langs. there is some (heated)
debate about how to define "linking" in the context of dynamic
languages; I've seen recently that there seems to be a creative commons
license that explicitly says "modification to code must be shared, code
that just calls library functions doesn't".

Hey folks,
I'm looking at using some GPL licensed code (Flade, to be specific) in a
game I'm building for my employers. However, I can't find a clear answer
anywhere as to what that implies for our source: does anyone know if
using
GPL licensed libraries means that we would have to release the source
to our
game? Or just the library, if I modify it? Or not at all? I assume
compiling
a SWF constitutes creating a binary version, but are we technically
"distributing" it if it's loaded from a web server?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Henry
Addendum for Free Software people: I'm not trying to circumvent the GPL
here, just trying to understand the implications to my employer.
Personally,
I think open source is a fantastically good thing. I just need to know if
I'm going to have to convince my bosses of that ;)
