I'm alittle confused as to the license of NanoGUI/Microwindows. The faq
says its under the MPL (the Mozilla license, correct?). This would imply
that static linking with proprietary code is allowed (sorry if I'm wrong on
that, but that's what I've heard).
I was browsing through the code and I came across a notice that mentioned
some code was GPL'd ( engine\devarc.c for instance). Now, I'm pretty sure
you can't statically link GPL'd code with proprietary without that
proprietary code falling under the GPL. Is that correct? If so, it would
seem there is a licensing problem with using Microwindows in a closed
application. Also, wouldn't that mean that the entire Microwindows project
would have to be placed under the GPL?
Sorry if this issue has been raised before. I just want to be sure before I
make use of the code.
