No. > Assuming that it's not a desired consequence, could Tuomo change > HUPnP license to LGPL? Sigh. Step away from the keyboard *NOW* before any of you makes a big (licensing) mistake. First of all, *which* LGPL are you talking about? LGPLv2.1 or LGPLv3? They are not compatible. Mixing GPLv3 code with LGPLv2.1: no go. Mixing GPLv2 code with LGPLv3: no go. Just don't do it (or at least: don't distribute it). Before you ask for license changes, please contact the legal dude at KDE e.V. first to see which licenses are OK and which are not. The legal dude is Adriaan de Groot and he is on this list AFAIK. Or, better, mail KDE e.V. about this: [email protected] armijn -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [email protected] | http://www.uulug.nl/ | UULug: Utrecht Linux Users Group ------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Kde-hardware-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-hardware-devel
