Dear diary, on Wed, Jul 26, 2006 at 11:36:16PM CEST, I got a letter where Jon Smirl <jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx> said that... > Can the library version of git be licensed LGPL instead of GPL? If it > is GPL then it can't be linked into non-GPL projects like Eclipse. Probably not since it essentially _is_ the base Git code now. You would need to find all the Git copyright holders and convince them to relicence it, since there are thoughts about moving more code to the library, and even parts of scripts might eventually end up there after rewrite in C. And I didn't even get to discussing whether LGPL is actually desirable for Git. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Snow falling on Perl. White noise covering line noise.
