Hi Micah
I didn't get an answer to my last mail. No time? No interest? Did it not
arrive?
Thanks!

Greetings
I have discovered a serious issue with the licensing scheme of PicoGui:
PicoGui is distributed under the LGPL. But many of the files in the
distribution are copyrighted by a developer or entity and are licensed
under the GPL.
Different parts of PicoGUI are licensed differently. The server and
many of the standalone tools and applications are GPL. These
components never need to be linked with a developer's own application
code.
The client libraries, which do get linked into people's applications,
should be LGPL'ed. If there are any GPL'ed files in the client
libraries, this is a mistake.
This is a significant risk for all users of PicoGUI.
PicoGUI has users?
