Re: [libopencm3-devel] LGPL3 licensing

Same applies to someone fitting custom suspension to their car. Or just compressing their springs. Their choice, their responsibility.

BMW isn't gonna use libopen. Their timelines wouldn't allow it anyway.

We downgraded from GPL to LGPL - it isn't much to ask having to link in an object file.

You'll have to remove the two or so lines I committed if you want to downgrade to v2. Might be more constructive to figure out the linking thing.
