Re: Proprietary on top of Linux is OK, so don't slam Tesla there

Totally true, but there must be something else going on, else there wouldn't be this fuss going on.

Plus, unless they've changed their position, GPL distinguishes "running on top" cases between API calls/process executions and linking to. The latter GPLs your code.

I've never really understood where importing/using GPL libraries written in a dynamic language like Python or Ruby. Is it akin to an API call - ie no license impact to you? Same as linking - ie you are now under GPL?
