It would be fine if we were just linking against lzma. In this case, software using GPLv3 would have at least the same rights as proprietary software that is allowed to do that. But we are going to incorporate the decompression function into the bootloader, and that may not be allowed by LGPL. I don't think it would be allowed for proprietary software. It would be a derived work regardless of the library exceptions. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
