Re: [reSIProcate-users] Recon and LGPL sipXtapi license
This email is not legal advice and I am not a lawyer.
The LGPL isn't incompatible with use in a closed source system. All it
does is place restrictions on how you use the code covered by the LGPL.
In a nutshell: you have to make the source code to the LGPL library
available. This is true regardless of whether you have made changes to
the library. The LGPL does not obligate you to make other parts of your
application source available.

I encourage you to consult with a lawyer if anything is unclear.

Has there been any discussion on this list of the ability to use Recon in a
closed source commercial product? I am not a lawyer, but from my review of the
code and the various project licenses that make up Recon, it appears that since
(if I'm not mistaken) Recon statically links to sipXtapi, the sipXtapi LGPL
license prevents Recon's use in a closed source commercial product. Is my read
of this true? Or, am I missing something (completely likely!).
Thanks,
