Hi all
I'm totally confused. :-(
If I use XWIKI, which is published under LGPL, am I allowed to write a module/plugin and not publish it or do I have to publish it under LGPL too?
AFAIK, yes you can write extensions and not publish them under an open source license. If you make any modification to the current code though you'll have to share it with the community under the LGPL license. At least this is my understanding (I'm not a license expert). Thanks -Vincent
Thanks for any clarification Simon
PS: I know this is a standard question, but seriously I did not found an easy, understandable, concise and without long follow-ups about whether the interpretation is right or not, answer to this in hours of searching. Is it me or is (L)GPL one of the most complicated license nowadays?
