Re: CUPS will change license since 2.3 version - now incompatible with GPLv2

Once upon a time, Solomon Peachy pizza@shaftnet.org said:

Leaving aside "applications" for now -- What about the case where one of those "system libraries" (say, GTK+) directly depends on another "system library" (say, libcups) which now sports an incompatible license?

Because that's the problem we're actually facing here...

I know zero about CUPS, its internals, and how things work between the client library and the service, but just throwing this out there... would it be feasible to continue to use an older client library with a newer service? Basically like the way MySQL was handled for a while due to its license.

I'm guessing probably not, but just thought I'd mention it.
