Wayland switching to LGPLv2
[Posted November 24, 2010 by corbet]
The main Wayland libraries will be
changing
to version 2 of the Lesser GPL (from the MIT license) in the near
future. The clients are changing too: "
The demo compositor and
clients are currently under GPLv2, but I'm changing them to LGPLv2 as well.
This is a bit odd on the face of it, but the point of these applications is
to prototype new functionality that will eventually migrate into either the
client or server wayland libraries or one of the above toolkits. As we
move forward and start adding developers, I just want to make sure that
that won't be a problem."
