Licensing #947

Open surlemur opened 3 years ago

surlemur commented 3 years ago

There was a thread on licensing years ago: https://github.com/zeromq/netmq/issues/96 which does not clarify my question.

I want to use NetMQ in a commercial project where the company has to provide warranty and guarantee security and safety of the resulting product. From this perspective, you cannot let the customer modify the system. The LGPL 3 licence on the other hand requires us to allow the customer to exchange the NetMQ dll.

Is there any solution to this contradiction? Or does your "Special Exception" change things here?

I can imagine you can phrase the warranty in a way that it does not cover the product if the customer does not use your supplied version of NetMQ.
