Hmm, isn't it that you can have the extension in source, but cannot deliver an object containing it with an actual gdbm linkage? > >mysql - older versions aren't GPL, but current MySQL is pure GPL > > There's no problem here. Same here, I believe. The old MySQL license allows use of the old source under the conditions of that old license, but if you link against the new source, it is GPL. > >readline - starting the whole mess > >qtdom - explicitly not LGPL, commercial license available > > Isn't it QPL? If it is, we're fine. Hmm, http://www.trolltech.com/products/download/freelicense/ ... The Qt Free Edition (version 2.2 and later) is released under the Open Source license QPL, and GPL. The Qt Free Edition may be freely copied and distributed, put on ftp-sites and CD-ROMs etc. Qt Free Edition is provided with no warranty and no support. ... Is that an "and" as in "&&" or as in "||"? They have a FAQ: http://www.trolltech.com/developer/faq/free.html ... Can I make software with the Qt Free Edition and release it under the GPL, BSD, or Artistic license? Yes. Since Qt Free Edition is provided under both QPL and GPL, all license conflicts are avoided. ... So it is an "and" as in "||". No problem here.
