It's rather more general than that. The LGPL is the GPL plus some additional terms. The GPL allows you to remove any additional terms when you redistribute (L)GPL-licensed code. So you can redistribute any LGPL code under the GPL, no matter how you use that code. However, our software is explicitly licensed as a library, under the LGPL. This patch is inconsistent with our license terms, IMHO. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
