2. Re: Can I use WildFly commercially?
anotherjbossuser Jan 18, 2016 11:34 PM (in response to jaysensharma)Thanks Jay.
The LGPL wording would be confusing for a lot of lawyers. I am only deploying a .war file so no code would be distributed. I would assume any use of WildFly libraries in that case would considered dynamically linked? I'm guessing I would need to talk to RedHat sales to make sure.
