hi,

im reading the lingpipe terms of service here - Lingpipe tos

Does this mean that if i use lingpipe and integrate it into some other software ive built myself I have to make the software ive built myself available as open source? is this normal with OS licences?

im referring to this bit

1. Whether you distribute the Software or not, if you distribute any computer program that is not the Software, but that (a) is distributed in connection with the Software or contains any part of the Software, (b) causes the Software to be copied or modified (i.e., ran, used, or executed), such as through an API call, or (c) uses any output of the Software, then you must distribute that other computer program under a license defined as a Free Software License by the Free Software Foundation or an Approved Open Source License by the Open Source Initiative.

cheers
