Re: GPL license violation? [GNU Scientific Library]
Anton,
I read the follow-up discussions on the smartquant list about GSL
wrappers in R-quant. I'm not sure what license these wrappers are
under but if it is the R-quant license then there is a problem.
Any distributed code which refers to GSL functions should be licensed
to the end-user under the GPL. The intent of the GPL is that we make
our code free to other people if they do the same for us --- two-way
cooperation. The current R-quant license is not a free software
license so there should not be anything distributed under that license
which directly refers to GSL functions.
Thanks,
