Please stop spreading lies. GPL does not imply your app must be GPL. Period.

Ok. So I'm lying. What licenses are allowed to be linked against GPL?
I know they must be opensourced. What else? Is LGPL allowed? I guess yes, but whatever that uses the first original lib must comply with GPL too, so you're submitted to the GPL license anyway.

Now tell me, what's the difference?

The GPL FAQ may help answer your questions, and other common questions about the GPL:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean
* What does it mean to say that two licenses are "compatible"?
* What does it mean to say a license is "compatible with the GPL".

Great, thanks! It's one of those things one always hears in discussions but nobody makes clear. Lets hope somebody will give a definite answer to the definition of "derivative" too....
