LKL GPLv2 #362

Hi All,

Does any/all proprietary code that links to LKL have to be open-sourced? Did Jerry/Yuan from Google open-source their TCP proxy code that they mentioned in their white-paper if one has to open-source the code that they write which links to LKL?

Thanks

I'm not a license expert. From a brief search, I think the license only applies when you distribute your software. So it's not "any/all".

Our TCP proxy code is not open-sourced because they are never distributed/used. Also it's highly tied to google-internal code so there is not much point making it public.
