Licensing about guile-json HOT 8 CLOSED

I believe I could release it with dual license GPL and LGPL. I will try to figure out how to do that.

from guile-json.

Thank you, I think this would work!

I'm thinking to use this text for the dual license:

I just asked GNU Licensing lab. I'll let you know.

I just released guile-json 1.0.0 with dual GPLv3 and LGPL3 licenses.

from guile-json.

Hi! Now that I'm looking back at licenses (see #52) I was wondering why LGPLv3 was not good for GnuCash? Isn't LGPL supposed to be compatible with GPL? And actually isn't GnuCash using Gtk which has an LGPL license?

Thanks!

I suspect gnucash doesn't include gtk directly but rather links to it.

I see. I just downloaded GnuCash and saw you include guile-json source code, that's why you needed GPL.
