Evan, So, If I would like to distribute the GPL'd code, THEN, everything must be GPL'd. I really dont understand what "GPL Compatible" means? How can something be "GPL compatible"? Doesn't the non-GPL code become GPL'd itself upon distribution? It seems like an oxymoron to me? I wish DC would post some of this stuff on their website :(. Thanks for the reply, Derek Basch --- Evan Simpson <evan@4-am.com> wrote:

Everyone seems to disagree but it looks like I cant use GPL'd Products without GPL'ing the entire zope installation. Anyone care to dispute this?
I certainly will. The GPL doesn't kick in unless you are *distributing* the GPLed code, and using it to run a website doesn't count as distribution. You can *use* GPL'd Products with Zope, Apache, or even totally closed binaries.
Of course, if you *are* planning on packaging up GPL'd code with Zope or other code and selling/giving the combination away, you do need to be sure all of the licences are compatible (Zope 2.5+'s ZPL 2.0 licence is officially GPL-compatible).
Cheers,
Evan @ 4-am
