License clarification

Does MEDPython consider import dhn_med_py "linking" in the sense that any package that performs the import must be GPL-licensed?

This is the position taken by Mercurial (https://wiki.mercurial-scm.org/License), which requires non-GPL tools to use their CLI instead, so it's worth clarifying.

Hi Chris, Under those circumstances, no. If integrating the c library into a compiled commercial product, then yes. But even that fee is minimal, unless I need to get heavily involved. Hope that answers the question. Cheers, Matt  Matt Stead ***@***.***
