Re: [xmlvm-users] Commercial usage

[Kevin G. <ke...@co...>]

I get that the generated source is under GPL, but the original Java seems a
bit odd. I mean wouldn't anyone that didn't want to comply simply hack up a
bunch of classes with no implementation that match the prototypes of the
XMLVM java compatbility lib - thereby not linking their Java to the GPL Java
stuff?

Obviously the obj-c output will still be linked to the XMLVM implementation,
and so has to be GPL. However, as I've said before I don't so why anyone
would be particular worried about letting the generated obj-c stuff out into
the wild - I don't worry about letting class files out to be decomplied :)

We might want to relicense XMLVM to use as part of another product later,
would you be open to discussions around that? (either in the open or
offline)
