Re: [Vala] Vala and GLib license

[Aleksandr Palamar <void995 gmail com>]

Even if that would violate licence from Sony and Microsoft? Obviously,
sharing that code with someone who already has license from them to use
their API is not a problem at all. But sharing that code with those who
don't have such license will put me into trouble with that companies, but
even if people will have those sources - they are useless without previous
agreement with Sony/Microsoft and their SDK. That's the one of the moments
that kind of preventing me to look into Vala more seriously in view of
professional game development. I never know where it will end. The thing is
- I have bunch of old code that I may to do some refactoring - go from old
C code into C++ with bunch of own new and old bicycles or just went with
Vala step by step, maybe even ending with helping community in places where
I may be useful. But even how much I don't like C++ as the language, at
least I know I won't have any license headache later. Vala looks way better
in comparison, but the license of it's core runtime... That was the whole
point of the subject.
