Hi Boris,

I have read the:
     + GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2
     + FLOSS Exception

but I'm still a bit confused of the right of using it in a commercial
application.

I am speaking about an program which uses the XSD generated code to import
and export data from/to xml files (LandXML, KML).
Of course this import/export is made on runtime.

I use the generated code by XSD to made a statical library which has
includes for the libxsd files (to may compile and use it). So it is not
linked wit some XSD precompiled library, just includes the files from libxsd
folder.
Also I had added to my library some classes which use the generated code
classes and let me to parse and serialise xml files more easy. So I can
import the data included in a xml file and/or export in a xml file format.


So may I use XSD as a free license for my purpose? Or I need to buy some
license?


Thanks for help,
Constantin Iacobescu
