[fpc-devel] LGPL vs MPL

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Okay, maybe I posted this question in the wrong mailing list or I left
out a vital part in my post.  ;-)

I didn't mean for a change in FPC's licensing!  I was referring to my
own projects and also the possibility of including that code in FPC or
Lazarus (only shipping with, not compiled in).

I thought I would ask in the devel mailing list as you guys are in the
same boat I am (writing software using FPC), and might know more about
the different licenses available.

If there is a more appropriate mailing list for this question, please
let me know.
Sorry about the confusion.

I'm looking for a relaxed license that allows you to use my code in
opensource or commercial software, but any changes must be made
public.  I'm not interested in static or dynamic linking to the
library/code, etc... The developer must be able to use the code as
they see fit, as long as any change to my code/library are made
public.

Modified LGPL (as used in Lazarus and FPC) seem to be what I want, I
was just wondering what the major difference is between the Modified
LGPL and MPL. Oh and I don't live in the USA but rather the RSA (South
Africa).

Graeme.
