Hi James,
As far as I have understood it, if you modify libzmq with some great
feature you pattent, then you are implicitly giving freely a licence to
all users of your libzmq version. But if your patent is on an
application of yours that makes use of libzmq, then it is alright.
With reserves since I am not a legal expert.

Hello All,
Apologies if this is not the right list for this topic. I have gone
through the FAQs and understand the licensing terms of zeromq. I also
understand that it will not be re licensed.
I think zeromq is a great library to use for my project. At my
company, all open source usage needs to be approved for use by a legal
team. Usage of GLPv3 and LGPLv3 is flatly refused. One of the reasons
is the clause about the patents. I don't fully understand the
implications of the patent clause of LGPLv3 w.r.t zeromq. Does the
static linking exception affect my obligations in any way?
I'm basically looking for any information that I can provide to the
legal team to discuss further if an exception can be granted for this
library.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Sojan
