Subject: The term _linking_ in the licence
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 15:23:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <14363.193.17.199.5.1118934774.squirrel@193.17.199.5> (raw)

Hi list,

I am confused about the GPL licence. Both suggested sites for reading
before posting to this list about licencing only mention 'linking' with
other programs.

I face the following siuation:

I have written a program in C# that makes use of tools like ssh, rsync and
some bash shell built-ins. The C# program is the main .exe and does not
link to any of the GPL-programs while building and therefore the C# binary
does not contain any cygwin code. The GPL-exe's are called as system calls
at runtime via the cmd.exe.

Does the C# program need to be redistributed under the GPL as well?

Dave
