I think you meant "Lesser GPL with the static linking exception". IIRC glibc is "stock" LGPL 2.1 without any linking exception, so I may have misunderstood your comment and you mean just LGPL.
The LGPL is not viral but it has some requirements that are inconvenient when distributing a game, specially it makes static linking impossible.
- corysama 8y agoYou are right glibc is LGPL. It's libstdc++ I was thinking of https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html Looks like what I'm looking for can be found in MPLv2 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/ Ex: http://zeromq.org/area:licensing http://zeromq.org/area:licensing is currently LGPLw/exception, but intends to move to MPLv2 because it is legally more clear.
