Ah! Slava, the article you pointed at is wrong; Quoting :
"The same incompatibility issue exists with LGPLv2.1 projects that want to use an LGPLv3 library. They *must* be upgraded to LGPLv3. " This statement is not true for LGPLv3, but for GPLv3 (according to FSF's compatibility matrix at least); I guess someone needs to do his home work :) On Tue, Jan 3, 2017 at 1:36 PM, Tone Kastlunger <users.giulie...@gmail.com> wrote: > Doesnt Qt Provide the choice for GPLv3 / LGPLv3? > > From the FSF compatibility matrix > > http://gplv3.fsf.org/dd3-faq > > it appears that only using GPLv3 library code in LGPLv2 and LGPLV2.1 is > cause for trouble (=forced upgrade to GPLv3); > but LGPLv3 seems ok. > > That said, this has been viewed with eyes of a non-lawyer :) > > tortoisedoc > > > On Tue, Jan 3, 2017 at 12:53 PM, Slava Monich <slava.mon...@jolla.com> > wrote: > >> I'm not a lawyer but apparently something is fundamentally wrong with >> LGPLv3.
