<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>

You are wrong. Every distribution triggers the GPL. Changed source code
or not does not make any difference and linking to a GPLed library
usually (some exceptions apply) triggers the GPL if you are actually
distributing the library.<div class="im"><br>
