Domanda
In commercial proprietary product library1
is used which is under LGPL. According to LGPL library1
is distributed separately as shared library. library1
statically linked to other library library2
which LGPL licensed as well. Is it ok distribute both libraries as single shared library? Or to meet LGPL requirements should both libraries be distributed separately?
Soluzione
To comply with the LGPL requirements, your users must have a way to replace the LGPL-licensed libraries with (compatible) versions of their own.
To replace library2
, your users will have to recompile library1
as well, but that is no hindrance to LGPL compliance, as they should have that possibility anyway.
