Hello All,
I have a question I'm unable to confirm the answer to and was hoping someone on
this list could kindly lend me their expertise in answering it. I'm a freeware
software coder and publish simple tools for anyone to download. Recently I've
been working on a larger project and because of its size I would like to
license it under the GPL for others to freely build upon it as they see fit.
From what I understand of the GPL if you use GPL code in a separate project
that separate project must be licensed under GPL too. Now what I've done is
sort of the opposite and borrowed code from freeware tools I've written not
licensed under GPL and want to use the borrowed code in a GPL project. My
question is as the copyright holder of the code do I have to release all my
other projects for which I borrowed/reused code from under the GPL?
Thanks,
Ryan
