I found a nice and useful piece of software, published under the Code Project Open License which is quite permissive - similar to MIT or BSD.Unfortunately the code, as I examined it, contains files/libraries with the GPL license - and one LGPL as well. This is a violation of the GPL and maybe LGPL (not sure, but probably).The website doesn't unfortunately contain the e-mail of the author but it has the option to ask questions on the website.What should I do?Can I modify the software to remove the problematic libs?Should I ask the author a question? (I already asked one yesterday, so far unanswered)Should I contact the problematic software authors?Should I simply extract the permissive (BSD style) software from the software and do nothing?What would be an ethical solution?
What to do if I found someone broke someone elses' license
