License question

Post by jogibear9988 »

I'll try to create a webcomponent wrapper for the viewer, wich already works after a small fix: (I created anothe rpost about this)

https://github.com/node-projects/sweeth ... d72e0af8d3

But now I have a question.
Am I allowed to do this? And can my wrapper have a MIT Licence or does the Wrapper also need to be GPL Licenced?

Is it a subversion when I only use the library inside of a component?

The point isn't if it is just a wrapper or a derived version. If you include it in your work, the final license must be GPL. You may license your own code under MIT, but if you distribute it along with a GPL software, the whole work must be GPL. In other words, a GPL sw may contains MIT sw, but not the opposite.
