IANAL, but based on what you have described it sounds possible that your work might qualify as a derivative work of Gnash. > The code is available at: > https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/tree/e-interface > The commit in question is: e4d44ab6d42eb69c2886 Here's a direct link to the commit: https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/commit/e4d44ab6d42eb69c2886d1f4c0834e115ed25cf0 And I believe that this is the commit message: "Add NPScriptObject to support scripting an LS instance. Main structure and some code is copied from Gnash. Properties & standard methods are supported. No ability to export properties/methods using ExternalInterface yet." > Lightspark is licensed under the LGPL3, while Gnash is licensed under GPL3. > Are you guys ok with me licensing my implementation under LGPL3? > Am I breaching the terms of the license by doing this? > If I am, please note that this is not on purpose and that I will try to > resolve the situation immediately. Your work appears to have (only) LGPL headers on all of the files and I don't see anything in the code or commit message to indicate that Gnash is available under a less permissive license, or that this commit may contain code under the GPL. I agree that you should contact the copyright holder (the FSF) asap and talk with them. It is possible that they might agree to relicense some of the Gnash code under a license compatible with the LGPL, but until they do so, you may be distributing someone else's GPLed code under the LGPL. I believe the right address to use for inquiries is licens...@fsf.org.
