Who can say about the GNU GPL v2 license?

Question

Licenses for software and other works

Good afternoon!
Who can tell me if I can use the libraries distributed under the GNU GPL v2 license from github in my project. The project I'm doing will be fully published on github, I haven't chosen a license type yet.

Answer 1

Code distributed under the GPL may only be used in a product distributed under the GPL. Where you publish it and whether you publish it at all - does not matter. It's just that when distributing a product, you are obliged to provide the recipient with its source code, and it is under the GPL.
But libraries are usually distributed not under the GPL, but under the LGPL - this license allows code under almost any license, including proprietary ones, to dynamically link LGPL libraries. You can statically build them with your code only if it is under the GPL.

Answer 2

Yes, under these conditions you can.
