LGPL #253

Closed james4k closed 9 years ago

james4k commented 9 years ago

Hello,

It seems that while hxcpp is licensed with a BSD-style license, it isn't clear that LGPL code exists as well. [1] It is also not very clear from reading the Haxe licensing page [2], unless you are aware pieces of the Neko runtime are used for other targets.

Do iOS developers have issues here?

I would like to see either an increase in clarity on this, or to relicense these portions of Neko to hxcpp's license if possible.

I need to remove that license. There is nothing in the hxcpp runtime that requires GPL or even LGPL - the original code has removed this requirement. Sorry for the confusion.
