Re: Question about GPL (semi off topic)

Hi Christian,

I think this link is interesting, as it comes from the original writers
of the license :

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation

It mainly says that two programs that communicate through pipe, socket,
networks, ... are probably not 'combined'. So GPL won't apply to a
program just using data in a GPLed database ! (your data won't belong to
any crypto-communist organisation either :-)

Regards,
Franck
