If there is a contradiction between the license agreement and what I write down, the LGPL License agreement defines the terms ------------ It is not only the conditions... You have to allow user to change the library and fix bugs. So if you have some embedded devices you should provide an appropriate access to update the shared object. For these purposes user may for example reverse engineer your application in order to understand how to do such modifications, and you may not forbid it. (Section 4 of LGPLv3) Also you must be able to provide sources of the CppCMS upon the clients request and ship the LGPL license agreement with your software, so the user could know that he uses free software. In any case if you are not sure I'd recommend your to refer to: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html Or ask your lawyer. Of course if you are not sure that you may to or want to comply with the LGPLv3 license terms you may purchase the commercial license for your product. Artyom Beilis. |
