  1. <pipeep> Hey, if someone dynamically links to a gpl licensed tool, such as ffmpeg, must they then (if they publish it) release their code under the gpl as well?
  2. <pipeep> Basically, how does the gpl relate to dynamic linking
  3. <yrk> pipeep: same as static linking
  4. <yrk> pipeep: gplv3, section 1: "... and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require ..."
  5. <pipeep> thanks yrk!
  6. <yrk> pipeep: np
  7. <pipeep> hey, one more question. If that linking is done though shell scripts, does that count as linking?
  8. <yrk> pipeep: what matters is the linking, not how it's done
