  • So, if I understand you properly, I could just release my audio lib under Apache 2.0 (only) and if someone activate the optional GPL code, the whole (my lib and the user's software) would be considered GPL implicitely ? Without the need for me to license also under GPL ? And without the owners of the GPL code to come knock at my door with big men in black ? Commented Sep 3, 2016 at 22:29
  • there are no MIBs in play! :D If I use you code combined with the GPL3 library, I would have to make the combination available in source form to meet the source code redistribution GPL3 requirements. The Apache-licensed code would still stay Apache-licensed, just with the extra req that source would need to be redistributed too. Commented Sep 4, 2016 at 14:11
