Re: [libxml++] Licensing

[Christophe de Vienne <cdevienne alphacent com>]

Hi again,

Following the discussion on the License clarification, here is what I propose to add to the website.
Fell free to comment. I'll commit this in a few days if 1) I have no objection 2) I have the confirmation from the requesting person that it's what he needs.

License

Libxml++ is released under the LGPL version 2 or above (+ link to the License on the gnu site).

Clarifications

As requested by some users, here are a few clarifications on the licence:

• Things that proprietary projects can do:
• Derive sub-classes based on libxml++ classes
• Things that proprietary projects cannot do:
• Link statically (instead of dynamically) to libxml++.
• Change their own copy of libxml++ and distribute object code (for instance, an application+DLLs that a user installs) for that changed libxml++, but then refuse to give the changes to people who have received the object code.

Regards,

Christophe
