I don't know that I'd characterize the LGPL as a "problem", but your reading of it is completely off the mark. The LGPL requires that if you distribute an application linked to a library, that you must allow users to re-link against newer versions of the library that maintain interface compatibility, presumably by providing object files, bytecodes -- OR you must distribute an application that uses shared libraries. It is C-centric, but I do not think it poses any problems. (You must also redistribute any changes you make to the LGPLed library itself.) ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
