We have no big issue. Stellarium is not 'GPLv2', but 'GPLv2 or later' and according to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility that means that if we use an LGPLv3 library (QT >= 5.7) then the resulting Combination is under GPLv3. We do need to make sure we use no 'GPLv2'-only libraries (note: no GPLv2, LGPLv2.1 is fine). Because one of our libraries now forces the Resulting Combination to be GPLv3, we may want to replace the 'GPLv2 or later' with 'GPLv3 or later', but I see no strong need for that as the combination implies the resulting license version. -- Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
