Hi Yeah unfortunately it seems pi4j embeds wiring pi binaries in their releases which then "affects the licensing terms".
In fact I think its misleading from pi4j saying its ASL2 and not clearly saying they binary link and include LGPL3 work. I posted a question about this on their user forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pi4j/Rv-F1Z-GXxU On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 10:18 PM, Christian Müller <christian.muel...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Greg! > > No, that's not possible from my point of view.
