[strongSwan-dev] vici license question

[Emeric POUPON]

Hello,

I would like to write an utility using vici in order to control charon.
However, I am wondering about the license problems. If I use the provided low-level C API to exchange messages, I guess I fall into the GPL license for the whole utility?
Since the wire format is documented, I would have to rewrite my own custom low level library in order to communicate with strongSwan?

Best Regards,

Emeric
