I am not sure that it is legal to bundle LGPL covered .so and a proprietary app in the same tarball. It is possible to do 2 tarballs, one with apps with LGPL source compatible license, the other with non LGPL compatible license, and the user just has to unpack them in the same directory. It could also be that bundling LGPL source compatible and LGPL source incompatible apps is permitted, I haven't checked precisely. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
