Hi all, I've been reading CppUnit's LGPL license and it seems to allow the use I intend to do, but as it's not my field I though I'd better ask for confirmation. I'm planning to use CppUnit for building a test suite for the QuantLib library (http://quantlib.org). The latter is released under a modified BSD license which, I'm told, is GPL compatible. I would not distribute CppUnit itself nor a compiled test-suite binary; instead, I would include in the QuantLib tarball the sources for our test-cases which would be compiled by the user if CppUnit is installed on her machine (by the way, thanks for the Autoconf macro). Also, I would state that CppUnit is released under LGPL and include a copy of the license. As far as my legalese goes, this seems to comply with section 5 of the LGPL. Is it really so? And whether I'm covered or not, are the CppUnit developers happy with the above arrangement or is there any preferred way to go? Thanks in advance, Luigi |
