Hallo, IOhannes m zmoelnig hat gesagt: // IOhannes m zmoelnig wrote:
so can anybody tell me, which license my program has to be published under? i doubt that this has not been discussed to death at fsf. most likely the arguing will be about "intentioned use" and/or about 2 licenses to be applied to the final program (depending on the produced binary).
Maybe this is a case of the "dual-license" thing that's becoming popular for GPL software. If you distribute a binary of your little program linked with the GPL-speakfree, then you little program has to be *distributed* according to GPL as well. Linking that code with a nonfree-speakfree would be forbidden.
However if someone wants to do so, he could ask you for permission to do it, and if you agree, you could give him the license to link with proprietary code as well, because you are the author of the little program. You still cannot give a "closed license" to link with GPL-speakfree, of course.
