Non-public application uses GPL code — are we obliged to publish our source?
- by Cimbit
Real Example.
I have a closed source server-side program for "internal purposes only" (no distribution or selling).
I want to use "MYSQL C++ Connector" in my server application in my VPS (MYSQL C++ Connector is GPL).
Do I have to make my application "GPL" and distribute my source code?
Can I use the GPL Source Code in my closed source application. (There is no distribution or selling of my application — it is for internal purposes only.)
