Hi Carsten,

But yes, it does mean you can't write BSD-licensed code with ExtJS. But in that case, people who want their code to be under a BSD license always have the option of not using the library.
You can write BSD-licensed code while uing a GPL licensed library. In fact you can license your code under every GPL compatible license[1].
As long as your license is GPL compatible you and everyone else can combine your code with GPL licensed code, e.g. also with ExtJS. example.
My bad - thanks for clearing that up! This makes the notion of having a library under the GPL a lot more reasonable IMO.
Just keep in mind that when you distribute a work that has GPL parts, the *whole* work needs to be distributed following the terms of the GPL for distribution.
Just a Rule of Thumb, I know there are dissenting opinions and interpretation for corner cases etc.. etc... :)
Simo.
