You can distribute your programs under any license you want (or not distribute them at all). You may distribute only the compiled script (.elc), and external programs. Of course, if you do so, we won't trust them. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Are there such that are not GPL'd and that can run the OP's script? If so, then he can probably distribute it under a non-GPL license, but otherwise I think he's bound to the GPL. > In any case, using a language cannot impose a license. The issue is not so much the language as the library functions. All the Elisp libraries bundled with Emacs are GPL'd, so if he calls any of those functions he's linking with GPL code and hence needs to use the GPL as well.

The script needs to use emacs gui for highlighting and moving around some custom log files. Do I need to make source code of the script and related backend scripts/programs (used for log file parsing, etc. ) because of the GNU public license? Sorry for asking such a stupid question. I tried to look for the answer but could not. -- With warm regards, Vivek. J. Joshi. [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 517 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
