<br>
I'm preparing a library that will probably end up being a header-only library.<br>
I would like to use a license like LGPL - the code in question needs<br>
to stay free, but that it can be used from non-free code like it is<br>
the case with other frameworks.<br>
<br>
The issue is that (if I'm correct) LGPL does not have anything<br>
different to GPL in this case since this is not a library that is<br>
dynamically linked - if someone uses it, its code becomes a part of<br>
the end product.<br>
<br>
If the above is correct, I think we should add a GPL+exception to the<br>
list of approved licences.<br></blockquote><div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">Hi Ivan<br>I'd go with LGPL+exception. It's effectively the same as GPL+exception in this context but shows the intent of providing a library. If someone ever transforms the code to a regular library + headers, no change will be needed: LGPL will work for linkable code, and LGPL+exception for the embeddable headers.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">Cheers.<br></div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
