License of the TANGO API C++

[tango-controls-bot]

I'm work to THALES Services on the ELI-NP(Romania) project and we use the API TANGO to develop the supervision application.

Also we are currently analyzing the licences used in the application and especially the TANGO API. You consider the API TANGO as LGPL but after an analyze, we identify some files of the API TANGO C++ tagged with a GPL contamination.

The following files are included from the "Tango.h" -> #include -> #include under GPL license and so with a contamination.

Can you confirm if these following files are really under GPL license or if it is a mistake of update?

lib\cpp\server\readers_writers_lock.h lib\cpp\client\helpers\DeviceProxyHelper.h lib\cpp\client\helpers\PogoHelper.h lib\cpp\client\helpers\TangoExceptionsHelper.h lib\cpp\client\helpers\Xstring.h

Can you update theses header with the LGPL license.

Thank's in advance for your answers, Emmanuel KERTESZ
