Hi All, There are many open source licences, I can't even start to list them, and I doubt they are all similar/the same, otherwise they wouldn't be so many.
So my question is, if software is licenced under the <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html> GNU Lesser GPL (I read that), but didn't seem to answer my questions, so I looked it up and found http://www.opensource.org/licenses/LGPL-2.1 And I still don't quite understand it. So if I download software licenced under the GNU Lesser GPL, can i: - Change it, and not open source the changes - Distribute/Sell the changed software without releasing the source code (Credits stay in the source code) - At which point do I fully own the changed software, e.g after modifying 60% of the source code/never If I can't do the above, which licences would allow me to do so? PS: The most easily understandable licence I found was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL Regards, Daniel.
