The definitive answer is here: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#v2v3Compatibility
Basically if the existing license is "GPLv2 or later" there is no GPL-GPL incompatibility. GPLv3 does not affect our use of other libraries so is not an issue regarding linking to other libs; although static linking may in principle be a problem, it is an entirely theoretical problem since the source code for all libraries we use are freely available. FreeWRL is awful. I haven't looked into the backend of OpenVRML though; I've only tried the viewers based on it - the viewers have an awful interface but that doesn't say anything of the backend. - Cirilo On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 10:45 AM, Mark Roszko <[email protected]> wrote: > FreeWRL is pretty disgusting compared to Openvrml and its also GPLv3. > Anyone know on the KiCAD GPLv2 mixing with GPLv3 code?
