Practical ways around the GPL?
- by Daniel
My company makes an extremely specialized piece of software which costs a lot of money for those few who need it. On our current release we have no choice but to use a few libraries which are released only under the GPL.
Releasing the code is not an option and it would take months, if not years to implement the functionality the libraries provide.
What do companies do in this situation? Are there practical and legal ways around the GPL?
