Did you mean LGPLv2 _or_ LGPLv3 here?

Anyway, I am not familiar with libmapi, but it does indeed seem to be
(what is commonly referred to as) a library that is licensed under the
GPLv3. According to the FSF you can't release a project under the LGPLv2
or LGPLv3 if you want to use a library under GPLv3. You'll have to
convert your LGPLv2 or LGPLv3 code to the GPLv3 [1]. So, if I'm reading
your plan and the FSF GPL faq correctly, your plan wouldn't work (as far
as libmapi is concerned).

Am I reading your plan and the faq correctly?

[Evolution-hackers] [CamelStore] clarifying of documentation becomes a minor change of code

2008-09-01 Thread Paul Bolle
I wanted to clarify the documentation for camel_store_free_folder_info()
a bit. In found myself altering its implementation. Rationale is
(obviously) to simply make sure that camel_store_free_folder_info()
handles a NULL return of camel_store_get_folder_info() gracefully so my
documentation change is actually always correct. Any comments on this
(entirely untested) change before spamming b.g.o.?

Evolution shouldn't do that. Known bug? Andre?

No. I should have looked longer. Seems to be a bug in the list software.
Mailman?

When in doubt I'd just file it for evolution (and I suppose I'd also
mention my doubts about which module is at fault). If another module is
to blame, the report will get transferred to it (eventually).
