So someone gets "libraryA.dll" off the internet. It's under one of
LGPL/GPL. (It's source code is public, and not modified.)
They compile "programB.exe" under a proprietary license. (It's closed
source.) It links with "libraryA.dll" during execution. Are there
restrictions on "programB.exe"?
This person wants to distribute them both in "programB.msi". What
should its license be like? (Can it read the same as the proprietary
license for "programB.exe"?)
What about copyright? Can "all rights reserved" apply to any of these 3
files? Can copyrights be a problem later on?
