Hi Binan,

And this exception clause (btw, found something similar here http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/05/msg00595.html), needs to be stated by the copyright holders of this new opensips module (that will link to the lib) or by all copyright holders from core + module ? This is the tricky part :)

Thanks and regards,

Special exception clauses allows this combination (linking). This is what i know.

Hi Binan,

Already when through that page, but not 100% clear.

As I understand it, to make it possible you should :
1) the copyright holders of the GPL code should agree on an exception to link against the non-GPL lib 2) owner of the non-GPL lib you give you the permission to use it (if not fully public).

?

*Ämne:* [OpenSIPS-Devel] [HELP] Advising on GPL license issue

Hi all,

As I'm not an expert in this, I'm looking for someone to advise on a more complex issue regarding GPLv2 license.

Shortly - developing an opensips module that needs to link to a non-GPL (and not compatible) library (available for public in binary format, with proprietary license).

For details or whatever feel free to contact me offline, not a problem.

Help will be highly appreciate not only be me, but by the project and community (as a really nice feature depends on finding a solution here).

Regards,
