Depends on the license, doesn’t it? I’m not a licensing expert, but my understanding is GPLv2 / copy left licensing means that if you create a derivative product, you need to open source the new code along with the dependencies.
Seems like a management interface is a clear cut derivative product. Where’s the source code?
Or perhaps amazon does consider licensing and only builds on top of, eg Apache licensed projects?
- eitland 9y agoActually GPL allows you to keep your source code as long as you don’t ship the software and only allows users to use it over the network. (The full truth is a bit more nuanced.) The newer AGPL closes this loophole. And yes: except for Linux and the GNU tools I guess most companies stick with Apache, BSD, Eclipse and MIT licensed software.
