Alcuni IDE (o editor di codice come Notepad ++) sono rilasciati sotto licenza GPL. Se decido di creare un programma utilizzando l'IDE, devo rilasciare il mio programma sotto licenza GPL? O è solo se prendo il codice dall'open source?
No, non lo faresti. Consulta le domande frequenti sulla GPL .
Can I use GPL-covered editors such as GNU Emacs to develop non-free programs? Can I use GPL-covered tools such as GCC to compile them?
Yes, because the copyright on the editors and tools does not cover the code you write. Using them does not place any restrictions, legally, on the license you use for your code.
Some programs copy parts of themselves into the output for technical reasons—for example, Bison copies a standard parser program into its output file. In such cases, the copied text in the output is covered by the same license that covers it in the source code. Meanwhile, the part of the output which is derived from the program's input inherits the copyright status of the input.
As it happens, Bison can also be used to develop non-free programs. This is because we decided to explicitly permit the use of the Bison standard parser program in Bison output files without restriction. We made the decision because there were other tools comparable to Bison which already permitted use for non-free programs.
No, sei libero di utilizzare lo strumento per lo scopo previsto. Solo se usi parte del suo codice sei vincolato dalla sua licenza.
