I am not understanding you. By sole implementation do you mean sole license, or single codebase, or cant-run-without-the-library?* Kenneth Downs:If you seek to provide a closed source app that is built upon Andromeda, you are required to provide the source code to Andromeda itself. However, your app is not a derivative work in the strict sense because your code is not mixed in with mine in any sense. You never modify a file, and your files and mine are actually in separate directories.Many proprietary software vendors think that if you program to an interface which has a sole implementation, your code becomes a derived work of that implementation. If you sell different licenses for run-time and development environments, such an attitude towards copyright law seems inevitable. The last sentence I don't understand at all, can you elaborate? |
