Subject: [Xenomai-help] License question: xenomai is LGPL but GPL in headers
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 10:29:06 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <21504966.1163669346422.JavaMail.ngmail@domain.hid> (raw)
Hi everybody,
I have a copyright question concerning Xenomai:
As far as I understand it, Xenomai in user space is licensed under the LGPL
which means that I may link any commercial application against it.
My question is now:
Even in a user space application I have to include some xenomai headers
like <native/task.h>
When I look into native/task.h I see there the GPL copyright statement and not
the LGLP.
My question is now:
When I include the Xenomai headers in a user space application, does my
user space application fall automatically under the GPL or is it still possible
to build a commercial application?
I am not a lawyer, however sometime I think each software developer should be a lawyer..
Thanks for any answers on that!
Regards
Mathias
