Hi sent the follow to the free software foundation "I have an LGPL library (Version 3) in which I would like to use Freetype. Can I link to freetype and still distribute my library as a binary?
I asked on the freetype mailing list and was directed here so it would be good to get a definitive answer. Your website says GPL and Freetype licenses are compatible but does not mention the LGPL." I received the following reply. Given that the LGPLv3 is essentially an extra set of permissions on top of the GPLv3, then if a license is compatible with the GPLv3, it is also compatible with the LGPLv3. > Is this true just for dynamic linking or statically as well ? It is true of both dynamic and static linking. As the Freetype license is on the fsf website as being compatibale with the GPL I guess it is also compatible with the LGPL.
