| Dec 12, 2016 at 15:29 | comment | added | Zimm i48 | @BhimRathor The provision for system libraries is automatic but the provision for proprietary libraries is not! (The author needs to add an exception and if it isn't there, then it cannot be used.) However, the .NET framework is now (I think) published under a GPL-compatible open source license, so it shouldn't be a problem at all. | |

| Dec 12, 2016 at 2:59 | comment | added | Bhim Rathor | Thanks you Xiong. I found teh answer to my above question after some research on GNU website. Basically there is a provision for system libraries and another provision for proprietary library in GPL. Thanks You. | |
| Dec 10, 2016 at 22:42 | comment | added | Bhim Rathor | Thanks for you answers Xiong, this really helped. Would you be able to elaborate answer to question 2 please i.e. "Not for the GPL, no; any derivative software, including the entire package that has your vendors' libraries, must be offered under the terms of the GPL.". If i still like to go ahead with GPL, does it mean that i have to ask all DLL vendors to provide the source code so that i can package that with our software. If yes, then how does it work for DLL that we use from , lets say , Microsoft for .Net framework. Thanks for your help again. | |
