I am sorry, but if YOU, the author, will ship MY GPLed library with YOUR application, then YOU are FORCED to open YOUR code under MY terms. Understand?

Don't steal my code, please. Don't bundle it with your proprietary app without my written permission.




What does the GPL or using libraries have anything to do with the topic discussed?


Bundling a GPL library with your application, even as a shared object file, is not allowed unless your application is also under the GPL.

Furthermore, the application seems to include parts of Linux and certain other GPL'd code files while trying to maintain an MIT license.

This is rife with licensing concerns, only one of the many concerns I have with it.
