Apache or LGPL?

Open sethhall opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Why is the Apache license (COPYING.ASL20) included with liblognorm? It seems like most (all?) of the actual source files have LGPL license information in them.

Rsyslog is looking to transition from gpl to apache

Awesome! Two follow up questions.

  • How is the transition progressing? I assume that the source code is not fully under Apache 2.0 yet?
  • Does this mean that libestr will be relicensed as Apache 2.0 too? It's LGPL right now.

Assumption is right. Transition is a slow process because it is low priority and there also is no sponsor for that activity.

Either this or be replaced (it's really slim).
