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.
