Hi,

=20

I found that on sourceforge and freshmeat avifile's license is LGPL =
while on
http://avifile.sourceforge.net/ and in "COPYING" file - it's GPL.

I am looking for something like your
avifile/plugins/libwin32/loader/libloader.a (obviously hacked =
wine-stuff,
which is LGPL, and I believe it was BSD or X11 licensed when you'd got =
this
part of code) for use in some commercial project. Would you please =
explain
me what kind of license this libloader got? Is there any way to use it =
in my
project without making the whole thing GPL?

=20

Thank you,

Alexey Dyatchkov
