[Opensim-dev] LL Viewer code license change

[Frisby, Adam]

It'll have to be all LGPL if parts of it are - since the GPL wont accept redistribution of a mix of LGPL and GPL - only pure GPL.

Check the post on sldev about it - it looks to me from that one that the intention is for it all to be LGPL.

As regards to OpenSim contributions, I doubt that the viewer license change to LGPL will make any difference.  LGPL just
makes it possible to link non-GPL code to the viewer code.  The viewer co
de itself is still virally licensed.
Justin, where did you get this information?  Its not the way it was presented at SLCC (I watched the entire announcement and read the postings afterwards by LL).  So, its not the way I read it, but we need to check.  They even amended the licence from GPL to LGPL for a lot of the top level parts of the viewer source code as I examined some of the key commitdiffs.


"for a lot of the top level parts"? Not the entire code base? I'm curious which parts are now LGPL and which are not, and if not, what license they are under?
