[Vtigercrm-developers] Licensing issues with GPL (was sharing realworld test)

Correct. In fact you would see yourself forced to change the license on 
the whole product and make it GPL. In fact that is what may be happening 
to your own integrated roundcube extension....

Another option would be that vtiger changed the license to support dual 
licensing, then, with a LOT of care and conditions, you could have both 
together. It is a REALLY tricky thing and I think vtiger does correctly 
in staying away from the problems, albeit the inconveniences....
