Distributing commercial software on a Linux virtual appliance, and the GPL -


We want to distribute our (commercial off-source) software as a virtual device.

Our favorite OS is Linux

We do not want to violate GPL, and we do not want to open source IP at this time.

Can we do this legally?

> Or do we need to use an OS with a more approved license (such as BSD)?

( PS: I think that will eventually require a good lawyer's advice I )

Edit: For comments all Thank You for.

Just the fact that your application is not running on the top of the GPL'd kernel , Affects the licensing of your software. It really depends on your software to actually "link" (whatever definition "links" means for any language written in your software).

Is your software connected to the GPL kernel? Or any other GPL software?

'Other number of conditions Before I just create the SQL query as a string, while looping over all the situations. However, it seems that there should be a good way to do this in LINQ. I tried to use Expression trees, but they had a second thought for this moment on my head, where the lambda function was to be executed inside the statement such as: values ​​for matchingRows = matchingRows for each value Where (function (row) row.c...

asp.net mvc - Dynamically Generated Ajax.BeginForm -

I have a problem with ASP.NET MVC Ajax forms. I generate many Ajax form in a table such as: & Lt; Input type = "submit" name = "activity" value = "add activity" / & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; & Lt; / TD & gt; & Lt; / TR & gt; & Lt;%}% & gt; So far so good. When I post one of those forms, it gives a partial view in a div, and in this new partial view a new Ajax Beginnform (which is not in Genesis form) This second Ajax Beginnorf is exactly like the ones I got on the table, but when I post it, I do not get the "Ajax Post", but a normal post that sends me to a new page, I do not know whether the two Ajax forms What is the reason for the difference between, why is it the "dynamically generated" Ajax form behaves like a normal HTML form? By the way, I know that I can do it in different ways using javascript, but I would like to understand whether it can only be done using MVC helplars and Ajax lib...
