SCM and I consider to use it for the planned LGPL-opening of my COM-based sqlite-wrapper- and -RPC-library. That planned opening will be hosted on a dedicated servermachine, which will support both - a (readonly) WebBrowser-Client over Port 80 (more or less directly served by the Fossil-engine) - but also a dedicated RichClient-Application (a "project-client"), which works against the same online-host over the usual RPC- Port my library is using. My question is related to the GPL-license the Fossil-engine is based on - regarding compatibility with my own stuff, which will (needs to) be LGPL-based. At the serverside I see no larger problems - two services, running side-by-side - the RPC-service with no "direct linking" to the Fossil-service. But at the clientside I'd like to interact more closely with the Fossil-engine (the ideal way would be a library-based Fossil- engine which runs InProcess within the RichClient-App). That RichClient-App licensed under LGPL - making use of the new LGPL-licensed sqlitewrapper- and communication- library - so, do you see any chance, how I can achieve such a tighter integration without the need to "lower" my planned LGPL-license to GPL? What I would like to achieve is, that my solution is usable within commercial contexts - and the LGPL- license is not that restrictive in that regard, also in terms of (re)distribution. I'm not (yet) that "fluent" with regards to LGPL/GPL compatibility - so, "how to interface" in the best way with fossil with regards to easy (re)distribution and usage of a "developer-package" (which later on wants become a full-blown IDE with integrated SCM- support - used also in commercial contexts)? I'd be willing to also contribute to the fossil-project (e.g. a COM-based fossil-interface-wrapper, released under GPL - if that is of any help - but as I see it - that would shift the GPL/LGPL "interfacing-issues" only one layer "away").
