Curious, what license(s) prevented you from using a library? Or maybe rather, what does "use" mean here?

- nonbirithm 5y agoGPL, and in some cases source-available codebases produced by decompilation. "Use" in this case means to have some feature that's implemented by those libraries reimplemented in an open-source project (MIT-licensed).
- ShrigmaMale 5y agoGPLv2, which is viral.
- jeltz 5y agoGPL by some quite popular interpretations of what derivate work means. I do not personally agree but those interpretations are common enough to be a real concern and I do not think it has been tested in court yet (GPL has been tested in court but I do not think this particular aspect has).
