Yeah for this instance (Action Script) if you extend a class in the
licensed library then that extension must be available to all who ask
for it.

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 ;)
