Yes, you can do this. This is how all Windows GUI apps are built. In
fact, that distinction is the hallmark between "console" mode apps and
"gui" mode apps in Windows. I may be able to look up the low-level
particulars later -- but if you have access to Visual Studio, just
generate a basic console app template vs. a basic gui app template and
compare them. I'm not sure offhand whether this will be in the skeleton
code for the app, or somewhere in the compile flags. Be sure to check
out both.
That sounds promising, but I bet you're faster looking up those issues
than I am. I don't use visual studio all that much, since I'm focusing
on platform-independent or unix flavor code. Since we have a
platform-independent build environment and our build systems are fully
automated, we don't rely much on GUI build tools.
Note that reusing OSE source code (covered by GPL) to talk to the
PUEL-licensed VRDP server component is a GPL violation.
At least by U.S. copyright law, this isn't correct. The two cannot be
distributed together, but there's nothing against an individual user
separately obtaining and using GPL and non-GPL code together for a
particular application.
True, because what you're referring to is actually the "use" of a GPL
app, which is indeed unrestricted. However not being able to distribute
something is a severe limitation.
