Currently, this project is licensed under the LGPL-3.0 License. However, there are some files included which are specifically licensed under incompatible licenses.

I haven't done a complete review, but I became aware of this while reviewing the KeePass module for Windows. The libkeepass project is licensed under the GPL-2+ license.

I'm really bad in project license. Do you think I should change mine to GPL-2.0 as well ?

ghost commented 4 years ago

I don't know much about licenses to know whether that would be OK.

Memorpy is also licensed under the GPL-3 license.

According to FSF, these licenses are compatible with LGPLv3 code.
