Distribution

Hi Steve,

I have a non technical question today.

We are about to free one of our application built with xataface, and distribute it via sourceforge.

Should we distribute the app only and tell the user to download xataface here to install it (but i'm afraid of versions trouble) or can we distribute Xataface with the app ?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Yes. You can distribute it under the terms of the GPLv2. I.e. if you distribute it with your application, then your application must also use a GPLv2 compatible license. If you distribute your app without it (and instruct users to download it), then there would be no such restriction on your license (unless your application uses other code that places license restrictions).

We use the GPL too.
