Ethics and Law of modified LGPL code deployment in a commercial software
- by dr. evil
First bit of the question:
What are the legal requirements of LGPL code during the deployment of a commercial product?
Software package should include LGPL licence file
Anything else? Shall we add a line to our "software agreement text" where you need to click next in the installer ?
Second bit, Is there any known / accepted ways of distributing the changed library.
Since it's LGPL anything derived from it should be licenced under LGPL. But what about after that?
Shall we just send a copy to the original author?
Shall we put it in our website so people can download?
Or ship the source code with the product?
Or just put a note that saying "e-mail us for the source code of this library".
