LGPLv3 and static linking #30

Closed janflyborg closed 3 years ago

janflyborg commented 7 years ago

I would love to use this library in the closed source application that the company I work for is building, but since LGPL forces me to either open source our code base or link dynamically with a library that is already present on the user's machine, I don't think it is possible to use your work.

So what is the reasoning behind licensing it as LGPLv3? Or do you simply only want people who build open source to use this library?

you can try this repository xquery, support XPath query for XML.

Thanks for this. I will look into it.

I also would be interested to use this in an open source project and it seems that I cannot do that unless I also licence my work in LGPL, which I refuse to do (planning to use MIT). What a shame.

@zhengchun Thanks for your package, I will use it :+1:

Out of curiosity, has anyone complaining here actually read the license?
