libsensors license question - GPL or LGPL ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

libsensors is supposed to be licensed under LGPL as far as I can see
and recall. However, doc/developers/applications reads:

   Note that libsensors falls under the GPL, not the LGPL.
   In more human language, that means it is FORBIDDEN to link any application
   to the library, even to the shared version, if the application itself
   does not fall under the GPL. This may or may not be changed in the future.
   Contact us if you wish to discuss your application.

Is that an oversight from earlier versions or on purpose ?
The source refers to LGPL as far as I can see, and the comment in
lib/libsensors.3 states that it is distributed under LGPL.

Thanks,
Guenter
