What about interoperability of Apache2 with LGPL2.1? I was also a little worried about the "public domain" disclaimer. After all, "public domain is not a license and the copyright holder may choose to retract the software from PD at any moment" <http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6225>.
The "Bison exception" struck me as weird as well; I'd never come across anything like it. --Nico On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 9:05 PM, Paul Tagliamonte <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 08:59:06PM +0100, Nico Schlömer wrote: >> > Both of those licenses sound great and compatable.
