But anyway, according to the FSF itself, one must convert that LGPL'd stuff to GPL per LGPL Section 3 in order to use that stuff "combined"/"linked" with GPL'd stuff. So the LGPL is irrellevant.
http://www.linuxrising.org/files/licensingfaq.html <quote> We paid the FSF to have them provide us these answers. So these answers are verified correct by people like FSF lawyer and law professor Eben Moglen. Question: Can someone for example distribute 1. GStreamer, the LGPL library 2. Totem, a GPL playback application 3. The binary-only Sorenson decoder together in one distribution/operating system ? If not, what needs to be changed to make this possible ? Answer: This would be a problem, because the GStreamer and Totem licenses would forbid it. In order to link GStreamer to Totem, you need to use section 3 of the LGPL to convert GStreamer to GPL. </quote> regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
