not a hundred percent sure how to handle the situation. We are no GPL license
experts, so your input would be highly appreciated. I want to emphasis here
that we are a huge fan of the open source concept in general and most definitely
don’t want to abuse it. | | What we would
like to do is the following: | | Create some
sort of web service to provide solution of certain optimization problems to
other applications ( for finding shortest paths or the like ). | | Those
applications that would make use of these services are non GPL ( | I believe ).
Would it accord to the GPL to implement such a service ( | and license it
under GPL ) and use these services from non GPL | programs? ( In
a sense I would believe that I can have a non GPL | program making
use of say the Apache Web Server to load some files | without
violating the GPL ) | | But of course,
I may be totally wrong here. | | regards | |
