All,

I have nothing to contribute to the discussion of licensing (I am not a
lawyer).

But isn't it significant that a major university (which has been ranked
#1 in Australia and #31 worldwide) is interested in making LyX
available in all its computer labs?

Personally, I think the GPL2 is clear enough for me to stake my

Or, if they don't like the project not acting as their lawyer,
they can start using a proprietary substitute, and REALLY start

I wouldn't suggest replying to these guys. They're trying to put the LyX
project in the role of their lawyer, without payment. Personally, I
think the GPL2 is clear enough for me to stake my business on, but if
they have questions, they can hire a lawyer.

Or, if they don't like the project not acting as their lawyer, they can
start using a proprietary substitute, and REALLY start paying lawyers.

Quite right too.

It opens for now, and maybe my satellite internet was down for a few
minutes, or my power went off for a few minutes and shut down my
router.

Thank you,

Dear LyX Team,

We are writing to you in relation to the licensing for LyX.

The University of Melbourne is currently working to modernize its 
approach to delivering computer labs across the campus and will be 
transitioning from physical computer lab delivery into a virtual 
platform based on Citrix technology.


The new delivery model will shift from delivering software through a 
single physical Windows 10 endpoint to a shared virtual model using 
servers running Windows Server 2019, allowing multiple users to connect 
to one server using user sessions.


As part of this transition, we wish to clarify with you the licensing 
terms and conditions for LyX to ensure we will remain complaint with our 
commitments.


Can you please confirm that your license terms and conditions will allow 
the University to deliver LyX using this new model? Otherwise, if this 
does not comply with your current terms, can you please advise what 
changes are required to allow us to deliver LyX


Hello,

Our license is available here is the GPL2, as specified here:
https://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=blob;f=COPYING

Please ask on lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org if you have further questions.

Dear LyX Team,



We are writing to you in relation to the licensing for LyX.

The University of Melbourne is currently working to modernize its approach to 
delivering computer labs across the campus and will be transitioning from 
physical computer lab delivery into a virtual platform based on Citrix

As part of this transition, we wish to clarify with you the licensing terms and

Can you please confirm that your license terms and conditions will allow the 
University to deliver LyX using this new model? Otherwise, if this does not 
comply with your current terms, can you please advise what changes are required 
to allow us to deliver LyX
