Hi,
As I found JabberD 1.4.* is licensed under GNU GPL.
If i will make an external component (jabber:component:accept one according to JEP-0114) for logging messages does it fall into "derivative work" category of GPL? If so, the component should be opened source under GPL (or other OSI compatible license). Am I wrong?
In my opinion, it depend of the nature of your module. This is true if your module is strongly linked (library bound to the code). If the module is communicating through a network socket using the XML protocol, I think you can provide a proprietary implementation.
Another question. Can commercial apllications communicate through JabberD 1.4.* without any license restrictions?
Yes. If it were not the case, you would not be able to use infrastructure software through the network and would have a problem with GPL STMP server (you could not send mail with Outlook for exemple) or with FTP server (You could not use a proprietary software to upload files).
So, I think there is no problem.
