I am using an LGPL library in my code. For my needs, I need to modify the code in the library. How do I mark the jar file that it contains modified code? Some txt file in the jar? In that case, what do I write in the txt file? I will include in the license agreement that we are distributing a modified version of the jar, but my questio...
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to release code I am working on which uses third party code licensed under the LGPL, under for instance the MIT License? Basically I dont want to change the license of the LGPL part, I am just wondering what happens with it if I chose a different license for the whole package or if that is even po...

I'd like to use iTextSharp for PDF manipulation. I need it to run under medium trust (webserver) and to be free of charge (sice this is a very small project), therefore there is not much competition. Unfortunately, since I need it for a commercial project, I cannot use the AGPL introduced with version 5.0. Do you know if I may use the 4...
LGPL seems to be targeted towards software modules. Is it safe to use an image licensed under LGPL in commercial print media? For example, as an image on a software box cover to be sold in stores that contains a CD. ...
I'm uncertain about a few licensing questions. I develop a closed source application, that's communicating with an open source server. Are my assumptions correct? Can I use an unmodified (L)GPL software on the server-side? I think yes Can I use and modify (L)GPL software on the server-side? I think yes because I'm not distributing the ...
I'm developing a program that will be published on my university's website. In this program I use two libraries, one under the LGPL and one under the CPOL (link text). I plan on releasing the complete source code, libraries included (without modification). Do those licenses clash? What do I have to do to "fix" it? Do I have to do anythin...
I have been studying the opportunity of using free software pieces to make proprietary softwares for a while and am aware of legal constraints implied by free-liecenses such as GPL and LGPL. Nevertheless, there remains a whole mystery to me. gLibC is distributed as a LGPL piece of software, which enables to make proprietary softwares by...
Possible Duplicates: Use LGPL libraries in closed source software? Can LGPL licenses be used in our proprietary systems? I am working on a software project in my sparse time. I plan to make it a free software. I also plan to share the source code. But not open source, i.e., derived works based on my code are not allowed. C...
Greetings, I understand that this is not the best forum for getting legal advices. But I am still wondering if anybody has some experience around this topic, or can point me to relevant resources that explain it. I have tried to search it online but could not find clear answers. Assuming I am using a Java open-source library from "some...
I'm working on an application developed with Qt 4.6.2. I'm linking dynamically and I don't want to share my source code. The application is totally free and I don't plan on selling any part of it. I did not make any changes in the Qt library, I'm only using it to develop the application... I just want to share my free application, witho...
Note: "Plugins" here refers to shared objects that are accessed via dlopen() and friends. I'm writing a library that I'm planning on releasing under the LGPL. Its functionality can be extended (supporting new audio file formats, specifically) through plugins. I'm planning on creating an exception to the LGPL for this library so that p...
I don't know much about the full GPL license other than that it's very restrictive to anyone wanting to use GPL anywhere near closed-source code. How does Apache 2.0 license compare with GPL and other license like LGPL, MIT, etc? ...
We have a commercial windows application making use of QT. I'll be very simplistic in my description as I must have a clear answer. At compile time we use QT *.LIB files We have a result of our compilation is an *.EXE file, we wrap into an installer and ship to clients. This *.EXE files depends on *.DLL files in QT. at runtime the *....

I have an open source Java library (http://jolbox.com) that is currently LGPL licensed. From what I understand LGPL, anyone can basically just link it in their app and distribute it, commercial or not, without the risk of having to "contaminate" their code. However I sometimes get the perception that companies misunderstand this and wi...
Hi, After having read several posts regarding the inclusion of LGPL'ed libraries with software that is licensed under another license than GPL or LGPL, there is still one point that confuses me. The way I understand it, there should normally be no problem to include the .php-files (and the README and the LICENSE files) in my distributi...

Hi, I am trying to understand the different between these 2 licenses, but it all seems very unclear... I found a discussion here but it didn't really help. As anyone got a clear view on what the difference actually is, if any ? Cheers David ...
