I source this from: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility Or are you suggesting that we should additionally re-license the files we import from LGPL to GPL per section 3 of LGPL2.1? | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | these notices. I don't have strong feelings either way. We already include MIT-licensed "jsmn" code our GPLv3 json module, so it wouldn't be a change from our usual practice to include GPLv3-compatible code by wrapping it in a module that claims GPLv3. Kind regards, Daniel
