<div dir="ltr">Hi Boris,<div><br><div>you *CAN* use open source software with closed source application. The exception is when you're changing the source of the open source application, which means you'll need to give back the modification. I think linking to a FOSS product (GPL'd) is a bit more problematic, but for this you can write some simple wrappers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thats my understanding anyway...</div><div><br></div><div>Hetz<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/11/19 Boris Shtrasman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:borissh1983@gmail.com">borissh1983@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Howdy ,<br>
<br>
I'm a foss developer ,so i prefer to use tested techniques and good software.<br>
recently i found myself in a problem:<br>
I'm reimplementing good Foss solutions (parts of rsyslog , nmap , etc ... )<br>
<br>
I can speed up my work (C++ developer) by using allready created GPLv3 and MIT<br>
software.<br>
<br>
As i see i need to use rsync (any variant) in closed source project in the<br>
next manner:<br>
application A calls rsync to upload to a file to remote server.<br>
(it is GPLv3 license afaik).<br>
<br>
Reading the license i didn't get a definitive answer.<br>
<br>
So when in need to develop with close source what is the way to use GPL tools<br>
?<br>
As in plain binaries (no use in source code or source encapsulation).<br>
