Product A is licensed by the GPL. Product A uses MySQL. Product B is a seperate application. Product B is not a module for product A. Product B's code is not embedded in product A.
But, product B can access product A's data by reading the same MySQL database as product A. Here is the rub: for product B to access product A's data, product B must be aware of the database schema used by product A. Product B must know the database name, the table names, and the field names, and the database structure, and all of that - I assume - is covered by the GPL. Since product B used the GPL'd database schema of product A; must product B also be licensed under the GPL? _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
