GPL libraries in a JVM ....GPL libraries in a JVM ....Posted Aug 17, 2006 8:40 UTC (Thu) by hppnq (subscriber, #14462)In reply to: GPL libraries in a JVM .... by jamesh Parent article: Coming soon: a free Java Interesting point. It's a bit strange though to see this casual mixing of the terms "running", "linking" and "distributing" as if there's no difference. This is all explained in the first paragraphs of the GPLv2. I thought I'd mention that, since the GPL, and therefore the exception made for GNU Classpath, addresses exactly this point. ;-) You could *run* (and therefore possibly link) GNU Classpath with any JVM with or without the exception, for instance. You just might not be allowed to distribute it.
