Resolve License conflict #47

Closed javajawa closed 12 years ago

javajawa commented 12 years ago

Information available elsewhere in the project suggests that the project is licensed as Lesser GPL, not pure GPL. Leaving a pure GPL license may make it the primary license (as the lesser version is GPL compatible)

If there are files licensed under each, then which should probably be made more clear (before I accidentally breach copyleft)

I note that both files were introduced at the same time, and thus begin to suspect that both are in use?

As per http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html :

All programs, whether they are released under the GPL or LGPL, should include the text version of the GPL. In GNU programs the license is usually in a file called COPYING.

If you are releasing your program under the LGPL, you should also include the text version of the LGPL, usually in a file called COPYING.LESSER. Please note that, since the LGPL is a set of additional permissions on top of the GPL, it's important to include both licenses so users have all the materials they need to understand their rights.

To clarify the code is licensed under LGPL.

My apologies; I think I've got some other people's pick that up on.
