FYI you cannot do that for LGPL. When you are changing the actual lgpl work (the app, library, etc) the lgpl behaves just like the gpl. (It merely allows you to create -other- works that use the -unmodified- lgpl work without releasing code to those -other- works.)
EG libfoo - if you write foomaster that uses libfoo, but don't change libfoo, you don't need to release source. If you change libfoo, you must release source to those changes (and possibly to more stuff too.) If you have licensing questions, you need to talk to a lawyer. Asking around here will not get you anything good. (Consider - if you mess up, you can't just say "oh, well, some guy on the internet told me it was ok"...) Also, read the licenses themselves. They aren't actually that complicated and that is the best source of information on what you can/can't do with them. 2009/6/2 Luis Alberto Pérez García <lui...@gmail.com>: > > It depends on the license.
