(L)GPL license questions
- by Marco
I'm uncertain about a few licensing questions. I develop a closed source application, that's communicating with an open source server. Are my assumptions correct?
Can I use an unmodified (L)GPL software on the server-side? I think yes
Can I use and modify (L)GPL software on the server-side? I think yes because I'm not distributing the server application
The client uses an communication library licensed under LGPL. Can I make changes to this library? Yes, as long as I provide the source of the library with the client software
Can I take only certain parts of an LGPL licensed software and make a new project? Yes if it's licensed under LGPL too.
