Change in License model?! #3

Hello,

first of all, this is a really fine piece of software.

As of the 'README' this software is release under the terms of the GPL v3.

Would it be possible, to change the license to 'LGPL' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License), because we intent to use this code inside our proprietary software?

Regards Dirk Wibben

I won't change the overall license to LGPL, but if you describe what you are doing I may grant you permission to use it outside of GPLv3 restrictions.

Hello,

THX for the quick answer.

We are developing an appliance product (refrigerator) with a TFT display. This is a commercial product, so we can't publish our own code. We intent to display several service informations coded in a QR-Code on the display for easier access of the service technician.

We don't intent to change your original code. It is working fine 'as it is'.

Regards Dirk Wibben

I would request two things, first include my name in the copyright list (includes code used by permission), and if possible if I can get - after you are done developing - one of the test or prototype devices as a "trophy". Please contact me directly at thomas@mich.com to discuss further.
