Re: [libxml++] Licensing

[Christophe de V. <cde...@al...>]

Hi again,

Following the discussion on the License clarification, here is what I 
propose to add to the website.
Fell free to comment. I'll commit this in a few days if 1) I have no 
objection 2) I have the confirmation from the requesting person that 
it's what he needs.


    License

Libxml++ is released under the LGPL version 2 or above (+ link to the 
License on the gnu site).


      Clarifications

As requested by some users, here are a few clarifications on the licence:

    * Things that proprietary projects can do:
          o Derive sub-classes based on libxml++ classes
    * Things that proprietary projects cannot do:
          o Link statically (instead of dynamically) to libxml++.
          o Change their own copy of libxml++ and distribute object code
            (for instance, an application+DLLs that a user installs) for
            that changed libxml++, but then refuse to give the changes
            to people who have received the object code.



Regards,

Christophe
