Does distributing non-GPLd assets with a GPL application violate the license?
- by Richard Szalay
This is somewhat related to my other question, but is actually different.
I would like to license a Windows Phone application under the GPL. All other Windows Phone Marketplace issues aside (I'll ask those on the forums), I'd like to include icons that ship with the SDK in my application. While this is common practice (documentation points to the icons' location), I'm not sure if I'd be forcing GPL on the icons (a move expressly forbidden by the Application Provider Agreement).
How is this usually handled in GPL or am I simply out of luck?
