I think "L as in library" really helps. Some rules of thumb: 1. GPL is more restrictive than LGPL because LGPL allows binaries that erternally link the LGPL'ed libraries to have their own license, even a proprietary one. 2. When mixing licenses, the most restrictive one applies. Code that links both LGPL and GPL can no longer be LGPL. 3. If only one binary is created of different licenses, the package's license tag is the more restrictive license. If however binaries and libraries are build, the license tag of the package must mention both licenses, e.g. "GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+". 4. If yo uare unsure, look at the headers of the code itself. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
