- If you combined some GPL code into a larger set of libraries, then in my opinion the combination is derived from that GPL code, so you need to follow the GPL rules by also releasing the source code of the whole set of libraries under the GPL as well.Brandin– Brandin2020-02-15 11:55:28 +00:00Commented Feb 15, 2020 at 11:55
- @Brandin and if it's just a wasm file sitting on another web server the browser loads? I mean, what constitutes combining? If I call an executable that's gpl, that means my executable and all related code is gpl?Tracker1– Tracker12020-02-18 05:05:07 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 5:05
- What legal juridiction are you under? (European, USA, ...). Did you ask your lawyer?Basile Starynkevitch– Basile Starynkevitch2020-02-18 13:22:37 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 13:22
- @Tracker1 This is answered in the GPL FAQ.Brandin– Brandin2020-02-18 14:08:06 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 14:08
- @Brandin seems like if the webasm would most closely resemble simple execution/fork since it's not really sharing internalized data structures, but passing in values (file contents) whole, as would a simple fork/exec. So an app that uses the webasm as a plugin shouldn't need to be GPL to use the wasm, assuming separate install (optionalDependencies)Tracker1– Tracker12020-02-21 16:35:46 +00:00Commented Feb 21, 2020 at 16:35

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. gpl-3), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
