Possible to create closed source version if not using GPL v3 miner? #1

xmrig is licensed as GPLv3, thus this derivative work also is. You need to consider this if you plan to build a "real" Android app. You'd propably need to make it GPLv3 also, unless you can somehow make use of the GPL clause which allows to bundle a GPLv3 binary with another propietary licensed binary.

If a closed source miner/miner that uses a more liberal license is used, are we allowed to use your template for closed source development?

Cheers!
