I am building programs for research purposes. My boss don't allow me to release the entire program as open source yet. Therefore I build the business logic as proprietary, and the infrastructure as LGPL. Then I statically link the proprietary program to the LGPL infrastructure.

I would like to use your mcp2221 driver, so I have a way to access i2c in windows.

Your driver is released as GPL. As far as I know the GPL license does not allow statically linking to it from LGPL code, so I can't use your driver in my LGPL code.

Would you consider to release your driver as LGPL as well, so I can integrate it into my LGPL code?
