Maybe someone could clarify things for me. Unfortunately the GPL would mean that the source code from a customer could not be delivered without disclosing the source code of his project. Am i right?
Hi,
The actual license details are in LICENSE.txt. The ZeroMQ library is licensed under LGPL and my contributions are 3-clause BSD. Both licenses are sufficiently permissive for commercial distribution, and IMatix has a special exemption clause. I think GPL.txt is only there for historical reasons; I can't remember when ZeroMQ swapped to a dual-licensing model but it was quite a while ago.
Cheers,
Martijn
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I got quite confused about two licenses in the source code of labview-zmq (see attachment).
For which part is the GPL?
I have read that the python counter part has moved to BSD/MPLv2 https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/tree/main/RELICENSE
