<p>Hi,<br></p><p>I'm currently working on a project that is a combination of Erlang and Emacs Lisp. The project is currently open
sourced under the LGPL but I recently realized that some of the
submodules I use are under GPL (the elisp ones) and so I believe I have to change my
licensing.</p>
<p>My problem is that I have no idea what license to choose. Part of my
code will be running in Erlang and part of the code will be running in
Elisp inside an Emacs instance. The submodules are not actually shipped <em>with</em> the project if that makes any difference, but are fetched upon building the project.</p>
<p>Specifically, in Erlang I currently have one submodule licensed under
the MIT license, and one under Apache v2. In Elisp I'm using 3
submodules, all of which are licensed under GPLv3.</p>
<p>Is there any way that I can cook this soup? I hear that Erlang
doesn't really work that well with GPL so should I pull out the Erlang
parts of the project and license them separately? Can I then use these
as part of my project? The Elisp code will be communicating with the
Erlang parts through a rest-interface if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>All these licenses confuse me to no end, so it'd be great to get some
advice. Basically my project a bunch of porcelain code that binds
together and configures a bunch of useful tools for erlang development.
The whole point of it is to be an easy-to-setup solution, so I'd really
not like to have to resort to "download this from here, configure this
way, rinse, repeat". <br></p><p>I have no issue with licensing my
project under GPL, but I would like a model
that is compatible with what I currently use and gives me freedom
to add new parts to the project
in the future.<br>
</p><p>I would be thankful for any help</p>
<p>Sincerely</p><p>Thomas Järvstrand<br></p>
