[q-lang-users] License of Q programs

[Peter M. <pet...@wa...>]

Hi,

I'm working on a library to turn Q into an Erlang node which will allow 
it to communicate with Erlang and other Q programs. This is coming along 
very well. However there's a problem: I can't distribute the library due 
to the combination of Q's and Erlangs licensing.

The problem is that the GPL and the Erlang Public License seem to be 
incompatible. And any Q program or any program that uses the external 
libq interface must be GPLed as they link to the base lib or the 
external interface which are GPLed (without a linking exception).

I wanted to ask if this is indeed the intended behaviour.

Greetings,

Peter Minten
