What restrictions will the LGPL put on my code? [closed]

Question

I want to use CxxTest for unit-testing in an application. I do not want to be forced to release source code or object files. The LGPL (under which CxxTest is released) is confusing on this issue.

Am I ok? Do I need to do something special?

Answer 1

From what I can see, you'll be alright with the LGPL, however,

If it is a derivative work, then the terms must allow "modification for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications."

Answer 2

As long as you're not distributing your tests it's not something you need to worry about.

Answer 3

If money is involved, you need to consult with an attorney. LGPL is not straightforward.
