Apr 10, 2023 · I wanna use a GPL-2 software library which is distributed in two flavors: GPL-2 and a proprietary license. The proprietary license is very expensive though. Currently, there are no real commercial alternatives on the market. Only about 10% of my software will be based on GPL-2 code. Questions:

This means that it puts major restrictions on anyone who distribute GPL licensed code or who wants to reuse GPL licensed code in another project. The most important rule is that anyone who uses GPL licensed code in their own project must publish their own project under the GPL license itself.

Similarly, you can use patents to restrict the use of LGPL v2.1 (or GPL v2) code. 2) It seems to me it is very difficult to use LGPLv3 license free/open software on embedded system, because a) we have to make the compiler tool chain available and b) public key to assign the apps to users.

One of the most widely used and most popular free and open source software licences is the General Public License. I want to know in simple terms: what are the differences between GPL Version 2 and Version 3? Further I found latest Linux-Kernel licensed under GPL V2 not GPL V3 till. What are reasons?
