That's rather bold statement and indicates lack of knowledge on the subject . I would advise you to look at http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html on GPL information. In fact proprietary applications can use/modify GPL software with no limitations or obligations towards authors. The only requirement is if such applications will be published/distributed it must be done under GPL license. If that's a problem - just ask authors to release a commercial version for such purpose. I think GPL is fair and easy to deal with. Raffaele P. Guidi wrote:
Well, GPL for a library is a dead end. Nobody will use it unless for open source projects. I would consider any possible choice before using it.

As I mentioned the decision was influenced by our legal adviser. And it probably can be relicensed as MPL/GPL, but why? My understanding is that for an end user which wants to use a free open source software there should be absolutely no difference between GPL and MPL. But if any one has has any licensing concern with his particular use case - please contact me with the details, I will do what I can to help.
