What this means
The LGPL v3 is a copyleft license that allows you to:
- Use Odysseus commercially
- Modify the source code
- Distribute copies
- Use it privately
- Link to the library from proprietary software
With the following conditions:
- Disclose source: You must make the source code available when distributing the software
- License and copyright notice: You must include the original copyright and license notice
- State changes: If you modify the library, you must indicate that changes were made
- Same license: Modifications to the library must be released under the LGPL v3
The LGPL allows proprietary software to link to the library without requiring the proprietary code to be open-sourced, making it more permissive than the full GPL while still protecting the library itself.
