Closed. This question is off-topic . It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 4 years ago . 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 graphics library that's GPL (and not LGPL), could I decide to make it part of a graphics service

Closed. This question is off-topic . It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 4 years ago . If I develop a GUI wrapper that only executes a GPL cli application (for the sake of argument, say tar ) must I release the GUI wrapper as GPL? Is it a derivitive work? If it is a derivative work what must I release? Both the GPL application and the wrapper will be distributed together IANAL. Quoting the mere aggregation section of the GPL FAQ (emphasis mine): An “aggregate” consists of a number of separate

Closed. This question is off-topic . It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 4 years ago . I know there are a few different Traveling Salesman projects out there and I've played with LKH a bit, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on any other ones? My project is GPL'ed so I would need something that is compatible with that license. In general, Space Filling Fractals will give you some of the best results at the lowest costs. In particular, I would recommend the Sierpiński curve .

Is my ASP.NET MVC project automatically GPL 2.0 licensed by including these libraries? I always find this confusing with the GPL. Yes, it is. You'll be statically referencing their code. That clearly falls under the "requires a GPL-compatible license" areas. You can, of course, buy a commercial license or use a different component if you don't want to GPL your project. Your application only requires a GPL license when you distribute your application. For example: Scenario #1: You develop a website which uses a mysql database and the Telerik ASP.NET MVC controls (both GPL Open Source licenses).
