You are totally wrong...
Please go and read about LIBRARY and GPL License...
What ever you link to a GPL app MUST be GPL. :)
So you have to publish your source under GPL.
And yes you will be sued... you are using the work of thousand of people and you
can't share a few stupid lines of code!?!?!?!...
><i> This is the same as developing proprietary apps on GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux
</I>><i> provides a public, GPL'd API, but the app you write that interfaces to
</I>><i> that API is totally your own.
</I>
You are wrong again...
><i>From what I understood by a mail from FSF, the only way you have to skip GPL is:
</I>1) Get a License from Nel.
2) Code the whole client under a different license. Unless the Net protocol is
propietary... that I think it is not the case.

</I>
No, it is not the same... Please ask a lawyer about it, he will explain it more
clearly that I can.
IMO if someone violate even a bit the license i set, I will sue him.
Regards.
