@lightweight @conservancy The original author of a work has unlimited rights, including the right to license as they see fit to different groups. The developer of a GPLed program is not bound by the GPL and can combine the GPL code with non-GPL code and distribute it under a non-GPL license.

This would be a problem if you mean to accept contributions, as those contributions would be GPL and not your work, unless you make contributors sign a CLA that assigns copyright of the contributions to you

@lightweight @conservancy Ah, that falls into the definition of "linking" which I am personally notoriously bad at interpreting

@lightweight @conservancy I'm familiar with the argument, just not the nuances.

Non-GPL Linux modules exist and one would expect them to be in a similar situation, yet the kernel has express technical functionality to support them - maybe look for the existing legal debates about that?
