If you are going to release the sources to build a link library (a "libXXX.a") then the LGPL is an appropriate license. If instead you are releasing sources that will be "with"ed and compiled along with the user's sources, the LGPL is *not* an appropriate license. You should probably use one of the following: GPL if you don't mind users having to also use the GPL when they distribute their code. Public Domain if you don't mind the possiblity of some users taking your sources, modifying them slightly, and charging for licenses to the result. GMGPL (Gnat-modified GPL), if you want your sources to remain freely-licensed, but don't want that to affect sources that "with" them and are compiled with them. In most cases, I pick the GMGPL. -- T.E.D. Home - mailto:dennison@telepath.com (Yahoo: Ted_Dennison) Homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html
