Yes! In fact, we encourage that Smile The only prohibited thing is to distribute the source without copyright files... (at least, that is my understanding of BSD license we use Smile

Anyway, not all parts of U++ are BSD or compatible licenses - there is one LGPL exception, ndisasm - disassembler used in TheIDE debuggger.

Obviously, you are not going to use that package in usuall application, but it serves well as an example: Always check COPYING (or similar) files of packages to be absolutely sure. OTOH, we have a rule not to use any 3rd party sources that could cause any problems...

Upp itself are distribuited under the BSD license, a very permissive license, that permits you to devlop a proprietary application.

I do not know if Upp also uses Gtk or other libs, so I don't know the correct awser to your question.

On Linux, it links with GTK dynamic libraries (the only reason is to use them as theming API).

GTK libraries are LGPL -> it should cause no problems.

I'm really impressed by Ultimate++.

and you can even do without them (as I do), compiling with .NOGTK flag setted in main package configuration. This way interface is more responsive, I find it more suitable at least for debugging purposes.

Dear All,

Thank you very much for all answers. And surprised Mirek still has time to answer this simple question.

Now, we plan to migrate from wxWidgets (using DialogBlocks for GUI designer) to Ultimate++. We are still evaluating but it seems that upp is so promising.

Best regards,
JE

Answering simple questions takes much less time and energy Smile
