not a lawyer... not legal advice. The first is (I think). However if you want to share any GPL-ed Code it must be released as GPL. GPL is viral like that.

- Herring 18y agoGPL isn't any more viral than ordinary copyright. You can never distribute copyrighted material except under terms that the author grants. It's like saying the windows license (no unauthorized distribution) is viral because if you got the windows source code & used bits in your program you wouldn't be able to distribute the program at all without getting sued to hell. Did the windows license spread to your program?
- xenoterracide 18y agoyes, but it is more viral than an MIT or BSD license.
