Hi all, I'm currently developping (well, quite slowly, I must say), what is supposed to be an XML framework (cocoon like, but without java, and much less sophisticated), and need some licensing advice (since, well, I'll also be maintaining a debian package for it, I'm asking here) This is supposed to come in separate packages. The central point is a library, linked to libltdl (LGPL) and libxml2 (MIT or such). This library is able to dynamically load modules (which could possibly be licensed differently from the library). One module is linked to libpcre, an other is linked to libxslt, and others could be linked to things like imagemagick library, sqlrelay, etc. Finally, there are several different implementations of the library, one being a "full featured" standalone application, an other a standalone CGI, and an other an Apache module. Considering all these different licenses graviting around the project, I was wondering which one(s) would be suitable to avoid licensing conflicts. My very first idea was Affero GPL with some linking exceptions (which should be needed for linking to apache), but I'm now considering just going for LGPL for the whole and/or GPL for some parts where possible, but I must admit that having so much licenses graviting around is a bit scary (therefore, it's so easy to create incompatibilities...). Any idea is welcome ^^
Regards Mike
