Hi Fedora Legal list,
I am trying to package HaXml for Fedora.
Its library is distributed with the LGPL 2.1 license, with an exception
in a COPYRIGHT file:
"""
As a relaxation of clause 6 of the LGPL, the copyright holders of this
library give permission to use, copy, link, modify, and distribute,
binary-only object-code versions of an executable linked with the
original unmodified Library, without requiring the supply of any
mechanism to modify or replace the Library and relink (clauses 6a,
6b, 6c, 6d, 6e), provided that all the other terms of clause 6 are
complied with.

complied with.
"""
It also includes some tools which are distributed with the GPL 2 license.
So I'd like to ask for approval for the above exception to make it "LGPLv2 with exceptions".
Not sure if that prevents "LGPLv2+ with exceptions"?
Thank you,
Jens
