What does open source license (like GNU-GPL) mean?
- by Hemant
I am looking forward to use an open source product which has GNU-GPL like license and it says that if I use that product, I must share the source code of my application.
I am slightly confused about it. I understand that Linux is available under GNU-GPL license as well. Does it mean ALL linux application are and has to be open source? Does it mean I can ask for the source code of complete Oracle DB from Oracle Corp (at least the part that runs on Linux)?
