Does this application use the same 7z.dll as 7zip, thus including the non-Free rar code?
Thanks,
Sam.

Posted on Sep 13, 2010 by Happy ElephantI'm a bit confused because that page indicates that the whole of k7z is GPLv3 but as I understand it, it uses 7z.dll which includes non gpl code. So k7z cannot be gplv3 if it includes 7z.dll, as this is non-Free.
Sorry to be a pain but I'm clarifying in reference to a software compilation that needs to be 100% Free Software.
Thanks,
Sam.

Posted on Sep 17, 2010 by Quick OxDo you think this problem would go away if I somehow prevent #7Z from calling any of the RAR-related functions?
I noticed that 7-Zip uses the LGPL for most of its source code. Do you think that I should just switch #7Z to that license?
In any event, if it's going to be too much of a hassle, just exclude #7Z from the software compilation that you're referring to.

Posted on Apr 21, 2011 by Quick OxI communicated with the Free Software Foundation about this matter months ago via email. Their feedback prompted me to switch the licensing for some of my applications to LGPL v3.
