CodeLite IDE

I know CodeLIte is distributed under GPLv2 license.

But I am not sure if this means that any program I develop using CodeLite must also be open source i.e. do I need to make my source code available ? Are the rules specifically for 'programs developed using CodeLite' documented somewhere? Pardon me if there is an obvious answer - I could not see anywhere a clear answer to this question anywhere I searched. To me it seemed like any executabes I create will be bundling C++ class libraries from CodeLite or other open-source code that it uses.. and I will be bound to make my program open-source as well - am I right in this regard?

I am trying to develop a commercial program (been laid off for a couple of years and need to make some money badly) and see if I can sell it.

I love CodeLite and wish I could use it for this purpose. Of course I understand the open source spirit and I do wish I could make my own program open source as well (but I need to live .

Do you know any good commercial C++ IDEs that are good for cross-platform development where I do not have to disclose my own source code? Don't want to get Microsoft/Windows-centric and use Visual C++ / .NET - I want to be able to support Linux as well.

Congratulations to the CodeLite team for a truly wonderful program even if I may not be able to use it for my purpose.

Like I replied to your email:
In short, you can use codelite to develop any commercial / closed source software.

If you wish to link against codelite sources, your code must comply to the GPLv2 license.
