Hi Ademar,

the kernel part of BlueZ is GPL and will stay as GPL forever. Another
license makes no sense here.
For the BlueZ library and the utilities we can talk about it. Some time
ago people asked for a LGPL version of the library and actually I tend
to agree with that. However this can't be decided by me alone, because
part of the code is copyright by Qualcomm and also by Maxim Krasnyansky
himself. For the utilities I don't see any need for a different license.
I believe in the GPL and from my view releasing the Linux Bluetooth
library under LGPL is the only step I wanna make forward to allow closed
source products based on BlueZ.
Regards
Marcel
