Re: [Hamlib-developer] Who's copyright on new files?

[Daniele F. <iu...@gm...>]

I agree with the general ideas stated by NAte, however the LICENSE
file differs because it says:
"The 'AUTHORS' file lists contributors known as the The Hamlib Group."

"The frontend library source code files and associated backend library
source code files are licensed and released under the Lesser GNU Public
License (LGPL)"

"Various other supplied program source files and example source files are
licensed and released under the GNU Public License (GPL)"

Since the simulators aren't frontend code I think that they are under the GPL.
This doesn't prevent individual files or directories from having
different licenses.

I think that the examples being under the GPL is strange because the
LGPL allows linking to closed source software, while I think that the
GPL is appropriate for rigctl and similar.

The tests that I have written are so basic that I didn't think of
adding a license, but I think that they are part of the backend so
they may fall under the LGPL.
