Yes, Cairo is dual-licenced under both the LGPL and MPL - you are free to use Cairo under the terms most acceptable to you. Basically you are free to use Cairo as you like, and are only obligated to share the changes you make to Cairo, inform your users that you have used Cairo and how they may obtain the source (including any of your changes) and not to impose further restrictions upon the Cairo source code. The finer details of how are covered in the few thousands words of COPYING-MPL-1.1 and COPYING-LPGL-2.1 -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
