Hi,
I'm sorry if the answer to this question is obvious, but it's not really
my area of expertise. I'm about to make a shared application available
from the web and want to included an appropriate license and copyright
statements.
As far as I understand things, since I'm not including any of the AG
toolkit in what I distribute and I'm simply requesting that the python
interpreter import AGTk files at run time, then the AGTk license has no
bearing on my choice of license for the code I'm making available. Is that
correct, or does the fact that my code imports from the AGTk mean that
it's a "work based on the Software"? In fact, I think the license I want
to use (a form of the Apache Version 2 license) is compatible anyway,
but I just wanted to check.
In short, are there any restrictions on the kind of license that can be
applied to a shared application that imports from the AGTk?
Thanks,
Adam
