hal_lib.c and hal.c are LGPL, because the intent was to allow people to make HAL components that might incorporate proprietary algorithms, etc. As long as those components connect to the rest of the system through HAL pins and signals, the "linkage" rules of the GPL shouldn't come into play. Halscope and halcmd and other things that are actual applications rather than components are GPL, as are the HAL components that ship as part of LCNC. Only the libraries and headers are LGPL, to allow people to make their own components. As I've stated before, I have no objection to adding "or later" to the license(s) on anything I contributed. -- John Kasunich jmkasun...@fastmail.fm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the endpoint security space.
