[Nils Kassube] | From: licensing@gnu.org (Free Software Foundation) [Bradley M. Kuhn] | | It sounds like you are building software that combines Zope and | GPL'ed software to form a single, larger program. In this case, the | whole larger program falls under the terms of the GPL. I don't exactly understand. Does this mean that I can't use any GPL-ed Products combined with Zope and distribute them? For example, I couldn't the use the GPL-ed CookieLess Session Management Product with my application and legally distribute it with Zope? Does this also mean that I can't make a complete application, released under the GPL, and distribute it legally with Zope to my clients? If so, is there a way that this can be done legally, without relicensing any of the "programs"? | This is a real problem, since the license of Zope is incompatible | with the GNU GPL. This means you can't legally distribute the | system. But what is defined as distribution? Can I install Zope on-site, then install the GPL-ed application and it would be legal? | You cannot legally combined GPL'ed software with Zope. Not at all? | You'll need to rewrite the Zope part [...] Sure, that's easy... Wouldn't take me more than a century ;)
