<div dir="ltr">Hi Charl,<br><br>I'm not a lawyer, but I think that's you can use an GPL compatible license to your software ( new BSD license are compatible ) and no problems with this.<br>Or the Kitware, when release, can put a list of compatible licenses ( something like a GPL exception ). For example, Trolltech do this with Qt, and when I asked directly the same question, the answer was that's "yes, you can use another more permissive license with Qt".<br>

</div>Oooh, that looks very cool, congratulations!<br>
<br>
This raises, at least for me, an interesting question: I distribute<br>
DeVIDE [1], an application based on VTK, ITK, and a bunch of other<br>
things, under a new style BSD license. I also make available binaries<br>
that include absolutely everything you need to get started.<br>
<br>
Seeing that vtkEdge is GPLv3, would I be allowed to make available<br>
separate binary versions of vtkEdge that match with the current DeVIDE<br>
release? Would I be allowed to distribute vtkEdge along with the<br>
DeVIDE binaries? DeVIDE is a Python application, and so dynamically<br>
links with everything it needs.<br>
<br>
I would appreciate any input!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Charl<br>
