Closed source app using LGPL3 code?

Question

Apologies but I'm confused by the license's content...

Can we create a commercial application (.NET) and sell it closed-source, while some libraries it uses are LGPL3?

Thanks.

You should ask this question of a lawyer, not programmers.

Having said that, I would say "possibly". I'm not intensely familiar with v3 of the LGPL, but if you provide the complete sourcecode for the libraries you are using to your customers (including any customisations you may have made to them) I think you're probably safe.

Again, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice!
