I'm working for a company which going to develop two applications. But one application will be licensed under GPL and the other will not. Is it still possible to use output from the GPL'd application and read it with the other application without violating the GPL rules? The output is data from measurements of wireless networks.
I'd say yes. Much like you are allowed to write a text file in emacs and then import it into <insert any proprietary program name here>.
One program reading the output of another program doesn't make the whole a derived work. Not even, if they are connected via mechanisms like a Unix style pipe.
Thanks,
