Hi,
What are the options for commercial (closed source) usage? Are there any additional licenses available? Even though SDFS is a filesystem, that similarly to any other FS in Linux world would be just used instead of modified, it's quite doubtful to me whether such usage wouldn't violate GPLv2 license... Could you provide any guidance on that? Thank you in advance!
To be more precise - let's take EXT4 as an example. I have a closed source app that uses Linux under the hood (Docker, VM, etc.). EXT4 is under the GPL license as the Linux itself, but it seems legitimate to use it like that (it does nothing to my proprietary code). Now, let's exchange EXT4 with SDFS. The only difference is that it's not a part of the kernel, so I have to install it from package repo or via provisioning script. Am I still allowed to do this as a part of my closed source app?
