#develop and commercial license

Can i distribute an application made with #develop under some
commercial license (sahreware)? The GNU license is valid for modifyed
versions of #develop source code only, or also for software made with
the it.
Thanx in advance, and sorry for my English.

You are fine to develop commerical application using SharpDevelop.

The GPL states that if you create a derivative work i.e. you modify existing
code or link statically or dynamically to a GPL'ed library then your work is
also GPL'ed.

Just because you are using a GPL'ed tool to create a new product does not
mean it is now GPL as well. For example GCC is one of the most popular
compilers, it has a GPL license but many people use it to compile their
commerical programs, just because you used the program to create another
product does not mean you now have GPL code.
In short - if you did not modify GPL code and did not link statically or
dynamically to a GPL'ed library then you code is not GPL.

Hope that helps

Hello All, I am trying to convince my client to use Python in his new product. He is worried about the license issues. Can somebody there to point me any good commercial applications developed using python ?. The licence clearly says Python can be used for commercial applications. Is there any other implications like that of GPL to make the source open ? Thanks for any help. eeykay

I've been using python to write a simple 'launcher' for one of our Java applications for quite a while now. I recently updated it to use python 2.4, and all seemed well. Today, one of my colleagues noted that on her machine the launcher would complain it was missing a DLL - msvcr71.dll However, there's a very grey area concerning the redistribution of said DLL.

I've read the MySQL licensing material and what I've found online, but I'm still unclear about when I have to pay MySQL for a license.

If I include MySQL 5.0 and MyODBC in the installer, do I have to buy a separate MySQL license for every copy of the installer I sell? 2.) If I include MySQL 5.0 and...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
