We would like to know your opinion on the following issue. We received a
suggestion for changing the Sablotron license from GNU GPL to GNU LGPL
(Library or Lesser GPL). The reason in this particular case was the
planned development of a Delphi interface; in general, the change would
make the library accessible to developers of proprietary software, while
any extensions or modifications of it would have to remain LGPL.
It seems to us that the LGPL would be OK for Sablotron, and that if such
a change is to be made, it should be made soon. We want to ask whether
you have any objections to the license change. Please let us know,
especially if you have already contributed some code or you are
considering doing so.
We hope you understand that this step has nothing to do with "closing"
the software - it just makes it useable for more people.
Sincerely,
Tom Kaiser,
Ginger Alliance
