My intent is to write a GPL application using the Zeo Raw Data Library <<a href="http://developers.myzeo.com/raw-data-library/" target="_blank">http://developers.myzeo.com/raw-data-library/</a>>, which can be used to record brainwaves in near-realtime. The library is given under this license <<a href="http://developers.myzeo.com/terms-and-conditions/" target="_blank">http://developers.myzeo.com/terms-and-conditions/</a>>, which I've converted into a PDF and attached, incase it changes. <br>

It's a long way from being GPL compatible. Unless you own the copyright in all the GPL code, and can give a dispensation, I don't see how this can be done with the GPL.<br><font color="#888888">

<br>The other way I could take "own the copyright in all the GPL code" would be to mean that I can't have other contributors that share in copyright ownership for the GPL (as in not Zeo's) code. That would be unfortunate. Say it ain't so!<br>
<br>What is a dispensation? Searching around tells me that it's making an exemption to some part of the license, but I'm not sure what I'd be exempting. <br></div></div>
