[Framers] OT: Copyright rules for scripts

[Robert Lauriston]

Yes, at a commercial software company, GPL = do not use.

I update the third-party license disclosures for my company's product,
and once in a while have to tell developers they need to take
something out. I have a number of topics in my docs that tell
customers how to install things we can't bundle with the product, such
as Oracle JDBC drivers.

Since using GPL open source is like an infection - new code built using stuff that is licensed via GPL also acquires GPL characteristics and becomes open. So, most companies (including mine) have Open Source Policy documents that describe exactly what open source licensed code their software designers can use inside their own material.
