[mosh-devel] Including Mosh in our Software

[Alan Kim]

Hi Keith,

Thank you for the information.

According to GPL licensing, all code linked with GPL source code must be
disclosed under a GPL compatible license.
However, several software products which are similar to ours all have Mosh
included, but do not seem to follow this rule. (Mobaxterm, Termius,
JuiceSSH to name a few). Do they have some kind of special exemption?

I'd appreciate any advice you can provide. Thank you!

Regards,
