It's less questionable than incorporating permissively-licensed code into a proprietary product.

- TimTheTinker 6y agoThe problem with using a GPL/AGPL-licensed library is that legally, your code and the library together become a single derivative work. The LGPL explicitly exempts library consumers from any copyleft requirements in this scenario, but the GPL and AGPL arguably require the entire work to become licensed under GPL or AGPL, respectively -- and the AGPL in particular would require releasing the source code of the entire work to network consumers of the work.
