Nautilus extensions link against the libnautilus-extenstions library which is
|
|
is under the LGPL license. However, they also get loaded into the main
|
|
nautilus program which is licensed under the GPL. So, extensions should not
|
|
be incompatible with the LGPL or GPL.
|
|
|
|
Some extensions are GPL but use some IPC mechanism like dbus to talk to a
|
|
potentially non-GPL application. This is actually not such a bad design in
|
|
general if your extension is doing a lot of work, as running as a nautilus
|
|
extension with all its issues (no synchronous i/o, can't control of the
|
|
context your code runs in, etc) can be kind of a pain.
