Original bug ID: 4195
Reporter: @oandrieu
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2007-01-30T10:00:53Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: text
Version: 3.10+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

The "special linking exception to the LGPL" part of the LICENSE text says:

`By "a publicly distributed version of the Library", we mean [...] a modified version of the Library that is distributed under the conditions defined in clause 3 of the GNU Library General Public License.'

but the clause 3 of the LGPL text below doesn't particularly address redistribution issued but relicensing of LGPL works under the GPL. Didn't you rather mean clause 3 of the GPL ?

Well spotted. We meant "clause 2 of the LGPL". (The one that describes distribution of modified versions of the library.) Fixed LICENCE file appropriately.
