Regarding the following excerpt of this comment: AFAIK, it's fine to interact with GPL code over a network adapter. It's not normally OK (again, AFAIK) to have code that's more tightly coupled than that, particularly if your code can't function without the GPL code, but that's a gray area. So if I want to use a

一、首先得了解android体系结构 从下到上介绍上图 Linux Kernel: 完全开源,GPLv2协议 Libraryies: 含少量开源库 Android Runtime: android 优化的JAVA虚拟机,更适合嵌入式系统。 Application Framework和Application都是JAVA程序。 二、android如何规避GPLv2的传染性 首先,最关键点是 Linus Torvalds在Linux内核版权最前的一段话,保证了Linux内核GPLv2不传染 Linux内核的版权是GPLv2,但是 Linus Torvalds在Linux内核的版权文件COPYING中最前面增加了下面一段话,保证了Linux内核的商业用途不被GPLv2传染。 NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

Should Translations of some GPL code to other languages be licensed as GPL? For ex we have x264 C/C++ H264 encoding open source GPL lib. We translate it from… C\C++ to Java or C# should we license our code as GPL? Yes, GPL code translated to another language or platform is still subject to the terms of the GPL. It constitutes a "modified version." IANAL, but, yes it would count as a derivative work The GPL stipulates that all derivative works share its license. I guess that legally you may not be obliged to license under the GPL depending on how you port the software, but you certainly should

I'm using Python/Django over MySQL. I'm currently working with MySQLdb that's under GNU GPL license. Is there a library with "similar" capabilities that's not under GPL-like licenses? To clarify: I don't know yet if I will want to distribute my source code or charge money for my application. What I do know is that I don't want these decisions to be made for me by my choice of MySQL and Python. I'm currently
