| Aug 5, 2016 at 3:51 | comment | added | Jace | @gnat I see, so the GPL contains rules about using the source code, and generally does not govern the product of the application itself. | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 3:43 | comment | added | gnat | edited question looks like a duplicate of GPL and code producing software. See also: Licensing of content created by licensed code: "The compiler is released under the GPL. It is perfectly fine to use that to compile programs that are not released under the GPL. What you are restricted from is modifying the GNU compiler itself and not putting those modifications under the GPL. Lots of very proprietary code is compiled with the GNU compiler..." | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 3:42 | comment | added | Jace | @CandiedOrange I've edited my question now. Hopefully this more specific example of what I'm trying to understand will be a bit more palatable. My apologies for the broad nature of my original request. This is not a topic I'm familiar with. | |

| Aug 5, 2016 at 3:14 | comment | added | candied_orange | Jace again that's much than what you've posted as a question. The problem is you keep doing it in comments. We are not supposed to have a discussion here. Either use what you've learned to edit your question or delete it and ask a better one. Please see how to ask. | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 3:07 | comment | added | Jace | @CandiedOrange For instance, the GCC compiler is licensed under GNU GPLv3, which seems to indicate that any program I create using the GCC compiler must also be open source, and I must provide the GCC compiler I used along with the program I want to share. That just seems ridiculously inconvenient, but maybe I'm reading this wrong tldrlegal.com/license/… | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 3:05 | comment | added | GrandmasterB | There is no 'one size fits all' here. You need to be aware of the license requirements of each open source lib you use. There is no single answer to this. | |

| Aug 5, 2016 at 2:50 | comment | added | candied_orange | Jace if you had simply asked that I would have answered with: depends on each things licence and user agreement. | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 2:47 | comment | added | Jace | @CandiedOrange I might not have a clear understanding of the process. I've read that any open source libraries incorporated into a project must be credited and documented in the project that uses them. I just want to know if that's the case for ALL aspects of programming. | |
| Aug 5, 2016 at 2:38 | comment | added | candied_orange | I'm voting to close this question as unclear. The title and body are not in agreement. the body seems unfocused. Indeed we answer liciencing questions. We don't answer questions that require this much guessing. | |

This community has answered several similar questions. programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/178231/… programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/324259/… | |
