I have a GPL license question:
I have a web-based software to be sold as SAAS, I have one library used in this software licensed under GPL. I did not modify this library, I just use it as part of my system.
Do I have the right to do that? Am I legally obliged to make my whole system open-source? Any possible solution to protect myself from any legal liability?
P.S. I know GPL is meant to protect the open-source world from abuse, but my company has put some investment in this software and we need to know our options before going public.
Thank you
