This is my personal response, not the official from the developers of Gmsh.
The Gmsh Python API is a wrapper for the C++ routines which are GPLv2. Therefore whatever gets linked to libgmsh.so (or .a) as cloned from the public repository has to be GPL2-compatible. This includes any Python script. The limit is a fork+exec(), as explained in the GPL FAQ. I understand that the original developers can give you a copy of the source code under different licensing terms (and with all GPL dependencies stripped off). You should contact them for further clarification. -- jeremy theler www.seamplex.com On Mon, Oct 21, 2019, 17:14 Niloufar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am a new user of Gmsh and I have a question regarding its licensing.
