RE: [Crash-utility] Crash extensions and GPL

Our developers create extensions which use our proprietary source code, and while they are most useful in-house, it'd be nice to be able to ship them to customers. I am not a lawyer, nor am I an open source zealot, but the crash utility is subject to the GPL due to the embedded gdb module. Given that any extension would be in all probability require a gdb service, how could you work around that? Dave We're certainly interested in contributing back generically useful code, but this would be a 'nice to have'. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not sure how to modify the license, but I could ask people here for help if this seems reasonable. -castor ________________________________ -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
