License compatibility

Post by Ashitaka »

Hi all,

I would like to know which grade of compatibility have some codes edited under GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3 such as L2J codes, and GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1.

The thing is that i have coded a feature for L2J admins using an open source library that is edited under the LGPLv2.1 terms and i am not that skilled in laws.

I would appreciate your answers.

Thanks in advance.

You may use an LGPL (notice the L at the beginning) library with any project, onpen or closed, any licence...

The LGPL tells that if you change THE LIBRARY you've to redistribute the changes...

So, an LGPL library is compatible with L2J
