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:=20
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 poss=
ible
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
