Hi Wayne- My reading of your links is different. Here's the relevant quote:
"GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 (#LGPLv2.1) This is the previous version of the LGPL: a free software license, but not a strong copyleft license, because it permits linking with nonfree modules. It is compatible with GPLv2 and GPLv3." Did I miss something? -Seth 2018-01-29 11:18 GMT-08:00 Wayne Stambaugh <stambau...@gmail.com>: > Seth, > > There maybe licensing issues involved with this.
