I was under the impression that one of the key distinctions between GPL and LGPL is that code depending on LGPL could be under a separate license from the 'library' code (in this case freeHEP). So we certainly couldn't distribute the FreeHEP jar files but I would have thought that one could include a freeHEP transcoder under say the 'contrib' tree (which isn't normally built).

I have no idea about the quality of the code but it certainly looks interesting from a sheer functionality point of view.... > On 01.12.2005 19:22:39 Anthony Cavalliotis wrote: > <snip/> > > I'd be interested to see any Transcoder re-implementation (or a start) > > if someone has the time.
