Publishing an application under GPL?

[Sebastian]

Is it possible to publish an application with CUDA support under GPL?

A short quote from the CUDA license:

Source Code:  Developer shall have the right to modify and create derivative works with the Source Code.  Developer shall own any derivative works (“Derivatives”) it creates to the Source Code, provided that Developer uses the Materials in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Developer may distribute the Derivatives, provided that all NVIDIA copyright notices and trademarks are used properly and the Derivatives include the following statement: “This software contains source code provided by NVIDIA Corporation.”

Since I can’t gurantee that nobody would remove the copyright statement, it seems to me that it is not possible.

This is perfectly possible. An application using CUDA is not a ‘derived work’. It’s easy, just don’t include source code from NVidia in your project. It’s not like you need to ship the cuda header files / libraries, just make your program link against them and you’re fine.
