Maybe an alternative to MPL could be these: 1) GPL with runtime exception (if GCC's standard library can use it, I guess we can as well) https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html 2) Boost license as it is also created for a set of template-heavy C++ libraries > If one wants to write a modern C++ library that makes heavy use of > templates in the API and which proprietary consumers should be able to > use is this clause alone reason to prefer the MPL2 over the LGPL or is > my concern unfounded? Now, if you don't want to sue anyone, the "10 lines" thing is not a problem. :) You can ask around people that have C++ libraries published under LGPL if they had clients confused about the licensing. There is quote a lot of FUD about (L)GPL often created by companies with dual-licensing models (not gonna mention any names here) so I could see a company being afraid of using an LGPL library. But, on the other hand, if you clearly explain what LGPL means in the context of your library, I'd say LGPL will not be a problem.

[kde-community] Licensing question with header-only libraries
Hi all, I'm preparing a library that will probably end up being a header-only library. I would like to use a license like LGPL - the code in question needs to stay free, but that it can be used from non-free code like it is the case with other frameworks. The issue is that (if I'm correct) LGPL does not have anything different to GPL in this case since this is not a library that is dynamically linked - if someone uses it, its code becomes a part of the end product. If the above is correct, I think we should add a GPL+exception to the list of approved licences.

Re: [kde-community] Licensing question with header-only libraries
> I'd go with LGPL+exception. It's effectively the same as GPL+exception in > this context but shows the intent of providing a library. If someone ever I have never seen a project under LGPL+exception, that is the reason I wrote GPL+exception. For me, it is the same, but I agree it would be more obvious to the client if 'L' was added. Now, the main problem here is that (L)GPL+exception is not on the list of approved licenses for our code. :) Cheers, Ivan ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community

Re: [kde-community] Translating the KDE manifesto
I'm very unsure whether translation is a good idea at all. It's too easy to change the meaning and just think about how carefully we worded everything to make the meaning quite clear. It's possible that a certain wording will get a different meaning in another language just because it's not possible to translate correctly. Its not that the manifesto is a legal binding document for it to need translations that have the super-careful wording. One thing that we could do, is to follow the Creative Commons principle of having official (verified by local and CC lawyers) and unofficial translations (that desire to become official at some point). For translations, we'll need manifesto versioning - as it is very likely that changing the manifesto will not trigger translations to be updated.
