Ranier, No one ever asked you for a link to all the various licenses of the non-Tecgraf products in IUP. I already have a much better link for that here: https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-general-public-license-v3-(gpl-3). Furthermore, no one is asking you if IUP is compatiable with these other licenses (so far it is). What the original topic was, and still is, is why isn't there a list of alln on-Tecgraf licensed products in the IUP documentation where it belongs? Can you explain that? No, because you wouldn't know that.
Yes IUP is obviously compatible with GNU, but that doesn't mean GNU is compatiable with IUP. Case in point: If you have an application that you don't want to open source, you cannot use any of the GNU licensed components in IUP. That is why is very important to have a list of anything in your product that could cause legal problems, requirements like you must disclose your source code (or pay a fee for) your formerly closed code product because you used a GNU product. So that brings up the quesiton of what exactly is "IUP". Is it a product linked to a bunch of GNU products or is it only bundled? Does that make a difference? Can you explain that? No, because you wouldn't know that. The GNU license says you must disclose your source code for your product if you link their product with yours, but Antonio says IUP isn't linking to any GNU products, they are only "bundling" it. I don't like to play word games with lawyers and that is exactly what that appears to be. I would feel much better, if like every other product in the world, IUP kept a list of all the non-Tecgraf products in the copyright(s) or credits section, so we won't have to worry if we missed something that isn't exactly clearly documented and we could be sued for. So your irrelevant and off-topic comments about URLS to explanations of various licenses just needlessly clutters the conversation. You don't know what everyone else is talking about yet you go on talking like you know everything and that is exactly why I will never trust your opinion -- because it is completely irrelevant. Is there something wrong with asking about the legality of a product that lawyers from another company are questioning? No, and that is why I have every reason to ignore you from now on. I don't tolerate petty behavior like yours, so I'm ignoring you from now on.
