I cannot agree with that statement. What if I, as a developer, want to create free code, based on the work distributed by the IUP project? Wouldn't I be benefiting, from all the work already done, wouldn't I be complaining, or criticizing, or saying that this is a shame? But if, on the contrary, as a developer, I want to create non-free code, based on someone's work, whoever it is, it is necessary, very careful and a lot of careful research, so as not to violate the GPL. >Does IUP tell users that they can't link IUP and those GPL'd libraries >into one combined program? Are we talking about children? A project, is it necessary to take hands and cross the street? For more than 20 years, I know that I cannot combine GPL to create non-free code, even though I call it a commercial product (wrongly). It is not in the assignments of any projects, to say what users can and cannot do, with respect to GPL. The project itself does not violate the GPL in any way. regards, Ranier Vilela _______________________________________________ Iup-users mailing list Iup-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/iup-users
