Transitive License Question #3092
-
|
I read through the open license questions but didn't see my question covered. We commercially license Iron Suite which has a transitive dependency on ImageSharp. No questions there. However.... could we directly call the ImageSharp library functions in our app and remain under the transitive license clause? We would not add ImageSharp as a direct dependency in our project. Iron Suite exposes some, but not all, image manipulation functionality of ImageSharp. However we'd like to go a bit further. Thank you. |

A dependency being transitive vs direct is purely based on how you install it not how you use it. Iron Suite consume the library directly, you consume it transitively so are not subject to any license restrictions and are free to use any methods from the library. I hope that makes sense. |
