If you seek to provide a closed source app that is built upon
Andromeda, you are required to provide the source code to Andromeda
itself. However, your app is not a derivative work in the strict
sense because your code is not mixed in with mine in any sense. You
never modify a file, and your files and mine are actually in separate
directories.
Many proprietary software vendors think that if you program to an
interface which has a sole implementation, your code becomes a derived
work of that implementation. If you sell different licenses for
run-time and development environments, such an attitude towards
copyright law seems inevitable.
I am not understanding you. By sole implementation do you mean sole
license, or single codebase, or cant-run-without-the-library?
The last sentence I don't understand at all, can you elaborate?
