Hello,

In the [GPL v3 + additions](https://forum.knime.com/downloads/full-license) you specially mention some of the base classes and node extension. Does it apply to the nodeset extensions too (like NodeSetFactory)?

Thanks, gabor

Hi Gabor,

yes, it does - the license lists the class/interface names for clarity mainly. But the intention is to cover (= remove the GPL viral effect) from the entire node extension mechanism.
