I am planning on also using GPL'd code to help further a proprietary product. My solution is to write a stand-alone server that furnishes the services required, and is 100% GPL'd. Into this server I will place any GPL'd code that makes my life easier. The interface will be open and documented, so others can use if if they have reason. At the same time, my Proprietary code will be able to use it too. I'm pretty sure this is legal, and I'm hoping that folks will think it's also the morally correct thing to do.
Lets not generalize about the moon maybe escaping
or maybe the earth will rotate once a month.
There has to be someone on here that can do the
math to figure out which is going to happen!!
For what it's worth, I'm betting the moon will
get slightly farther away, but never come close
being lost (think how much a figure skater can
change rotational velocity by only moving her
relatively low-mass arms a small distance from
her body and back.)
I wonder how feasible it would be to make a super
thin 'CD'. This CD would contain the Data, but would require a clear face-plate and/or back-plate to make it rigid, and backwards compatible with today's systems. Then, you could just cut the flimsy CD out of a catalog, slap it between your two rigidifiers, and pop the whole thing into the CDROM drive....
