Precisely. > However, our software is explicitly licensed as a library, under the > LGPL. This patch is inconsistent with our license terms, IMHO. Code can be incosistent with differnt code, license can be inconsistent with another license, but what does "code is incosistent with license" mean? That it allows you to do something that is prohibited to the license? If so, that's not the case. Reusing the code is explicitly allowed by GPL provided that the result remains licensed under GPL. Btw, speaking of licenses. It's 2011 so we should change file headers to reflect that. At the same time we can change the wording to mention all the copyright holders (i.e. referencing the AUTHORS file).
