Hi,
Not sure who to ask, so I am trying the mailing list... I develop a shareware application (i.e. commercial + closed source) which crawls websites. I wish to call the GPL executable swfmill.exe through Windows ShellExecute passing "swf2xml %input-path% %output-path%" Then wait for it to finish. If user wants Flash extracted for links, the user would need to manually download the GPL application and point my software to it's location on disk. ... Please note that I will *never* distribute any part of swfmill or any kind of automatic download of it. ... Looking at FSF frequently asked questions: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NFUseGPLPlugins I believe I'm a borderline-case. ... What's your feeling regarding this. Is using swfmill from non GPL application against your wish? If so, I will find another solution. (Probably parse the pieces I need myself or use Adobe's pdf2html) Would you consider making an explicit addition to your GPL license to explicitly allow this specifc usage? best regards Thomas Schulz _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
