However, they also get loaded into the main +caja 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 caja +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. |
