I won't use GPL libraries in my code. I'm quite confident I'm not the only one.
If there was no other choice, I may consider something LGPL or with the linking exception, but not until I had exhausted a search for something more permissive. To this day, I've never used GPL in any of my code, open source or closed. I've been writing code for 35 years daily.
- Xelynega 1y ago> I won't use GPL libraries in my code. Why? Do you also avoid libraries with an even number of consonants in the name?
- nu11ptr 1y agoStrange comment given the obvious differences in GPL vs. non-GPL regardless your personal opinion. GPL code means if I decide to distribute my project in the future, I will have to distribute my source code. That isn't a risk I'm willing to take. Some of my projects are open source, but I want to retain the option of doing what I want with my code, so I don't use GPL licensed code.
