Hi! It's not clear from the text of the license if I can use your library in a commercial project with is not distributed as an open source app?

Thank you!

Hi. The nfs4j licensed under LGPL, which allows you to use with code under a different license.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-java.html

However, if you do changes to nfs4j code itself, the changes have to be released under LGPL license and make available with your distribution (in form of source or pointer to a repo).
