List members:

I am interested in utilizing GnuPG in an existing windows app that my
firm has developed. In particular, we would like to use it to generate
license keys for the product.

Here is the stickler:
There is no way my boss will let me GPL the product. Hence, I need to
fully understand the ways of the GPL before I use it.

So, let me ask you this: If I use GnuPG as a library to an existing
program (merely calling its functions as if it were a seperate
executable), would I be required to GPL my software.

If this is not the place to ask such questions, where would you
recommend?

Thanks,
Patrick
