Hello, Thanks for answer. We would like to connect our software developed for our cliet to one of your libraries. The library will be installed by our client as end-user (without modifing your database). I read your "GNU Lesser General Public License" and according to this terms our need would be in the scope "work that uses the Liberary". My intention is to deliver the wording of your "GNU Lesser General Public License" to our client and let him to sign it. Our client is however asking, who owns copyrigh to the library. That is the reason, I need to know the legal entity + registered address.
Thank you Have a nice start of the week.
