Hi All,

I got an interesting email the other day asking if I would change the license
on USB scanner from GPL to LGPL.  When I got started in this thing, I just put
GPL without any other consideration (or knowlegdge of LGPL) - afterall, I just
wanted to learn and get my scanner working under Linux.

I found a couple of articles talking about GPL vs LGPL.  Right now, I'm
inclinded to go with GPL.  However, the individual I'm in contact with is
claiming that "Licensing it with pure GPL, means you can ONLY USE GPL KERNELS.
Which means even *BSD couldnt use it."  How accurate is this?

What are the opions and stances of the numerous Linux USB developers on this?

Feel free to email directly if you wish.

Thanks,
        /\/elson
