Chris Radek points out in another thread that if you download the 0MQ
source at:

http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-3.2.2.tar.gz

and look at the very bottom of the file COPYING.LESSER in the root of
that tarball, you'll find the exception text:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           SPECIAL EXCEPTION GRANTED BY COPYRIGHT HOLDERS

As a special exception, copyright holders give you permission to link
this library with independent modules to produce an executable,
regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to
copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent
module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An
independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on
this library. If you modify this library, you must extend this
exception to your version of the library.

I hope this helps, being included in the actual distributed source code.

Thanks,
Matt
