Can't use with GPLv2 under LGPLv3?Can't use with GPLv2 under LGPLv3?Posted Jul 10, 2007 13:45 UTC (Tue) by jamesh (subscriber, #1159)In reply to: Can't use with GPLv2 under LGPLv3? by sepreece Parent article: Samba Adopts GPLv3 for Future Releases
The system library exception essentially says that it is okay to distribute binaries of a GPL'd programs even if they link against system libraries that would not themselves be distributable under the GPL.
However, this would not really help you if the system library had a license that did not give permission to link against GPL'd programs.
So this would be a problem if you had a GPLv2-only application linking against the GPLv3 libsmbclient, as the application code is incompatible with libsmbclient's license.
