this is how I understand the situation:
zeromq is LGPLv3+ with a static linking exception (whatever that means):
http://www.zeromq.org/area:faq#toc0
http://www.zeromq.org/intro:get-the-software
http://www.zeromq.org/area:licensing
linuxcnc is GPLv2 - some parts are are 'GPLv2 or later' - I understand
re-licensing linuxcnc as GPLv3 is not a viable option
Assuming the existing project is GPLv2 only, and the to-be-imported code is
LGPLv3+, I assume for purposes of combination we'd be in column 1, row 6 of
this matrix: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility which
says 'NO' with no way out
so thanks to RMS and the FSF djihadis, I can link zeromq with my proprietary
code and sell that, but cant integrate it with linuxcnc, which makes exactly
zero sense to me
I'd love to be corrected on this view
I guess I'll post a question over at #zeromq to sense what they think
