I have recently been told by outside council (lawyers) that our organization is unable to use LGPL licensed packages in software we plan to sell. We have already built a web app using Python + Django.
Ticket: #461 (Support use of pypgsql instead of psycopg) - Django (djangoproject.com)<https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/461> Seems to suggest the purpose of the LGPL license is not to prevent the intended use we have in mind (selling the web app to be hosted locally at other organizations). Instead it is to prevent other from building off the drivers and then selling those drivers. Is that the case? Is our intended purpose within the license constraints outlined? Can we receive written confirmation that our intended use won't come back to hurt us and we have permission? Or can we not use your package in this way? We will be compliant with whatever outcome is required. If we need to move away from Django (psycopg2) then we can do that if needed.
