owl-cpp uses FaCT++ with the Boost license, but the FaCT++ project is GNU 2 software. My company is interested in using (and contributing) open source software so long as it isn't viral, but it would seem that use of FaCT++ would make all software that uses it subject to the GNU 2 license.
Am I wrong that owl-cpp's dependency on FaCT++ code makes it "viral" in the sense intended by the FSF's GNU license terms?
