Hello Markus The difference here is that those libraries do not add any restrictions on top of what IoTivity's own licence (the apache licence version 2.0) already requires. So there are no surprises for people using IoTivity. The UPnP bridge uses libraries licensed under the LGPLv2.1, which does add restrictions. To avoid surprises, we proposed a different repository hosted by iotivity.org. Uze is asking us to confirm with ISG whether that is an acceptable solution. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
