Re: ladspa.h -- a plugin API.



In Tue, 6 Mar 2001 12:47:32 -0500 Brian cum veritate scripsit :

I am cc'ing Richard Furse, because he would probably be interested in this thread.

To summarize, the possible licenses are :

a) LGPL
b) BSD style license without the advertizing clause
c) XFree86 license
d) something new which is GPL compatible (not recommended)

What would be the possible problem with making it LGPL ? 
For example, would a BSD-licensed program be able to #include <ladspa.h> 
and still stay BSD ?
