Interesting choice of LGPL license with exception.
- rijoja 5y agoMaybe they where forced to due to a dependency.
- gostsamo 5y agoNo, the readme says "shamelessly taken from godeb".
- snovv_crash 5y agoCould someone summarize what exactly the implications are of the exception? It seems that it is a link-time firewall for any GPL viral behaviour? As long as you're on the other side of the linker you can do anything, including embed a statically linked version in a proprietary application?
- jpetso 5y agoMy guess would be that this allows developers to distribute applications on Apple's App Store without much of a headache, where otherwise the user has no (LGPL-guaranteed) way to swap out libraries otherwise. IANAL, and haven't spent any significant research on this fwiw.
