Re: [reSIProcate-users] Recon and LGPL sipXtapi license
License issues aside, we created a branch some time ago that decoupled recon
from all of the sipX dependencies -- meaning that you would need to implement
your own media library to the (newly defined) media interfaces we contributed
on the branch.
The branch is at
https://svn.resiprocate.org/rep/resiprocate/branches/cp-recon-contrib-20100125
If anyone else is interested in investing the time, it would be nice to see
this branch collapsed back to trunk, but with a default sipX media
implementation of the interfaces. This has been on my list of things to do for
quite some time, but there is currently no timeline.

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.
