<p>Thanks adam but why all programmers that want with their open

codes tend to be so blind and use GPL instead of their own
license simple or open public or other way that doesn`t harm
other programmers.</p>

<p>Why an open source tox unique chat core want to make all

<p>Why do they help in that way the big sharks who got the money

<br>
toxcore is licensed under GPLv3, as seen in <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/COPYING"
target="_blank">https://github.com/TokTok/c-<wbr>toxcore/blob/master/COPYING</a>,
so to use
<br>
toxcore in your application you have to comply
with the terms of the <br>
GPLv3 license.<br>
<br>
> The application is a free in all its

<br>
Afaik, GPL license requires you to release your
application under GPL <br>
license and provide the full source code of your
application to your <br>
users. There should be no difference if you link
it statically or <br>
dynamically. You are probably thinking of LGPL,
which has a linking <br>
clause.<br>
<br>
I might be mistaking though, I have only basic
understanding of licenses <br>
and by no means am I an expert in them. There
are professionals in the <br>
legal field which deal with licensing, they
should be able to help you <br>
with understanding licenses.<br>
