[Fxruby-users] Licensing question - I can make money, right?

[Rich <ri...@li...>]

I've looked into the FXRuby license (LGPL) and the FOX license (modified
LGPL).

Other than that - a program using FXRuby would have the OpenGL file
included, which has no license for software developers...

... so - those are all of the licenses - right?

If I understand the LGPL correctly, I can use LGPL'd work in my standalone
EXE and not have to license my work under LGPL at all.

I can close the source for all of my work - right?


I know that the modified version of the LGPL for FOX says that I need to
include the scentence

"This software uses the FOX Toolkit Library (http://www.fox-toolkit.org)."
and that if I do that I can statically link to an unmodified version of the
FOX library...

... now if FOX had to do that to allow users to bundle their library, why
didn't FXRuby need to do the same?

Thanks in advance for any opinions / insights / facts that I can get as a
response, and thanks for letting me ramble a bit on this question, I'm new
to the LGPL.
