Re: Luxor Licensing

Hi, Gerald.

When I read GPL I recongnized that you can't have different licenses for
same code if this code is licensed under GPL.

LGPL notes that you can create software with different (not LGPL or GPL)
licenses only if you use LGPL licensed software as EXTERNAL to library or
add-on. And if you link LGPL licensed software into your executable file
this software MUST BE licensed under LGPL.

Where is also Open Software License. It gives right to developer of software
to have many different licenses at same time. But with GPL and LGPL it is
forbidden.

Had you read GPL agreement carefully enough to protect your words in this
thread?

Best wishes,
Mikhail Krivoshein,
