No Junyue, LGPL just helps to avoid the copyleft on using code as library; but any derived work of the code itself is under the same terms than GLP. So you _must_ not use that code as reference. That's a strong requirement of the project. You must implement the parser from scratch based on the available specification. -- Sergio Fernández Partner Technology Manager Redlink GmbH m: +43 6602747925 e: [email protected] w: http://redlink.co
