All,
There has been some confusion and misinformation floating around about
GPL vs LGPL in the Mir source.
The latest [1] advice I've heard is that we want everything to be GPL
except where it can't be (in client processes). This means LGPL for
client library source (and shared stuff that might go into
libmirclient). Otherwise GPL everywhere else.
If I'm wrong (again), please discuss it here, or in another bug like
1168225 [2].
Keep in mind the official instructions [3] for using GPL and LGPL.
- Daniel
