I've written a Delphi class which I am going to put on MIT license on github.

The class is a wrapper for a DLL, which is another open source project. That license says that I can use, modify, etc etc the code.

My question is whether I am obliged to use the same license terms since I am only using the final compiled DLL and not the source code.

What is your opinion about this?

    I think this does not apply for api(header, etc) files

    It specifically depends on the license text of the original DDL, but AFAIK, most open source licenses are binary-distribution-friendly, for example, all xGPL allows no-restriction binary file distribution.

    Edwin Yip The license I am looking at doesn't say anything about the binaries. So, I can assume it applies to all the artifacts and source code that can be produced, right?
