I think that if you need a single GPL file to compile a LGPL library, the whole must be released under the GPL (and cannot be released under the LGPL), am I right? That is correct. Well, the LGPL portions remain LGPL, but the aggregate must be treated as if it were GPL. > Could someone confirm the current license of these files? (according to the Copyright should be Fluendo S.L.) I believe the licensing is as intended. I don't know whether they'd be willing to change the jst portions. The C version is LGPL. Thomas? -r
