Hi, I don't hink its true that code you develop with MS VC can not be released under the GPL. It is possible is you use the foundation classes that there are restrictions, but otherwise not. This would mean, for isntance, QT applications under windows culd not be released under GPL simply because on win, the compiler used is VC
The msvcrt.dll that you need to include is proprietary, but as far as I know there are no restrictions on its redistribution. Could you send me a link to the license you refer to that shows code compiled using MS VC can not be released under GPL ? If this is true I 'll then have to migrate to some other compiler. thanks -kg On Tue, 1 Jul 2003, Soumyadip Modak wrote: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > I hope that I will get your cooperation. > > > Perhaps you can treat me like a Microsoft based > > counterpart in the Open Source movement !
