Subject: SDLmm license question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hi,
First let me start by introducing myself, I'm a linux enthousiast / developer
and a Fedora contributer. I maintain the SDLmm package for Fedora.
Currently we are doing a licensing audit of all our packages (what a pain)
because of the coming of GPL version 3.
During this audit I've noticed a discrepancy in SDLmm's licensing, in the
readme it says:
"This library is, like SDL, distributed under GNU LGPL version 2
license, which can be found in the file "COPYING". This license
allows you to use SDLmm freely in commercial programs as long as you
link with the dynamic library."
However (probably a copy and paste error) in all the source files the header says:
" * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
* modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
* published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
* License, or (at your option) any later version."
Notice that these headers say the file is licensed under the plain GPL, not the
_L_GPL .
Can you please clarify this? Thanks!
Thanks & Regards,
Hans

Err. It is licensed as LGPL. The header is a cut'n'paste error. I
haven't really worked on the library in a long time now but in either
case, as GPL it'd be pretty useless... :)

No, that's wrong too. Now there's a race condition between the rm and
the mv. Hmm, I need more coffee.
