C++ BuilderX Personal Licence and GPL?2003-09-21 08:08:01 AM kylix1 I note from a quick check of Websites that C++ BuilderX is either free or available for a few dollars. Does anyone know whether the C++ BuilderX licence allows code developed using the product to be distributed under the GPL? If not then it is not much use to me.

When I previously asked whether code developed with BCB6 Personal could be distributed under the GPL, quite a number of people thought that the above clause would rule out distributing the code under the GPL. Any thoughts? Chris Gordon-Smith London graffiti.{*word*269}.net/c.gordon-smith/ {smallsort} |

QuoteAny thoughts? As I read it, producing and distributing code which has the *potential* for business use is a no-no. Even if you don't use it yourself, facilitating or allowing others to do so is also a no-no. Basically, anything you produce and distribute must be explicitedly limited to charity, education and personal amu{*word*224}t. |

Kylix 3 / C++ Open Edition has no such restriction, and indeed the licence mandates that if code is distributed this must be under the GPL. -- Chris Gordon-Smith London Homepage: graffiti.{*word*269}.net/c.gordon-smith/ Email Address: Please see my Home Page |
