Fwd: RE: [Pharo-users] Porting Voss to Pharo
Hi Stef, Please see http://voss.logicarts.com/licensing I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say anything about the interpretation of GPLv3, except to comment without prejudice: As it is a complex subject, my intention was that users may prefer to negotiate a commercial licence with technical support, which may well be cheaper than the alternative legal services. I'm open to suggestions and negotiation, but I do need to monetise my time and effort - nobody paid me to write VOSS. Regards, John

Hi guys
if some of you are interested to drive porting VOSS to Pharo, let me know John sent me the code and I can give it to you. There is a dual license - LGPL - commercial
What does LGPL mean for VOSS? At FOSDEM I talked with Bradley Kuhn of the FSF. It is something that has been on their to do list for a while now. In the 'strict' interpretation it is as viral as GPL for smalltalk code.

That link clearly shows its a GPL license, not LGPL - so the whole of any application based on it will need to be GPL. cheers -ben
