License incompatibilities #374

Closed Alessandro-Barbieri closed 1 year ago

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 1 year ago

LGPL paragraph 7 states that: If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.

so it will invalidate the additional restricting license terms found at the top

Be free of charge
Only be provided as a digital product
Be restricted to the ®World of Warcraft IP
Be free of advertisements

and maybe this term

This project ("ClassicSim") adheres to the "Blizzard Developer API Terms of Use", which can be found at https://dev.battle.net/policy .

Thanks for the notification. LGPL does not state this, but GPL does.

I do think it is confusing that the license include a copy of an unused GPL license however, which could be removed to remedy the confusion. Note that the license text explicitly states it adheres to LGPL and not GPL though.

Closing this as I don't think there are any license incompatibilities with LGPL.
