Do you have info on which parts of Ceph are covered by the newly
introduced LGPLv3.0 ?
I'm still waiting for a reply to the email I sent Sage. In the meantime I did a cursory inspection of the source and don't see anything new that is licensed with LGPL 3.0. (I'm not a lawyer and I did not do an exhaustive search.)
What I do see that is new is the top-level license file (i.e. COPYING file) has been changed to add "... or LGPL-3..."
Again, I'm not a lawyer, but AFAIK that magic word "or" in the phrase "LGPL-2.1 or LGPL-3" should make it acceptable for things like QEMU that are GPLv2.0 only.
I'm mostly wondering if this is pre-existing code changing license in
a way that could impact existing apps/libs linking to Ceph libaries ?
eg QEMU would have a problem with LGPLv3.0 in the Ceph libraries, since
parts of the code in QEMU are GPLv2.0-only
Regards,
Daniel
