Not really, it's LGPL, not GPL (a quite significant difference). GPL would mean code using libsynthesis would need to be GPL as well. LGPL allows using the library in an application which is not GPL. > Really i don't understand exacltly what's the license of libsynthesis ? As the COPYING says, it is triple licensed. Which means you can choose one from these three licenses for *using* it. If you want to contribute however, you need to agree to make your code available under each of these three licenses, such that other users are free to choose as well. > is it GPLv2 or GPLv3 ? if it's only a section of this library that use GPLv3 > , what's this section and what this section do ? The library itself is available under LGPL v2, LGPL v3 or EPL. Some sample and utility code showing how to use the library (src/sysync_SDK) is under the much less restrictive BSD license, such that it can be freely used to build applications interfacing with libsynthesis.
