Thomas,
The stfl library is licensed under the normal LGPLv3 license (its
actually LGPLv3+). I think the thing that confused you is where the
LGPLv3 license text says:
" This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below."
Yes, that confused me :) Sorry, new packager, trying to make everything correct.
The LGPLv3 is just the GPLv3 with some extra permission grants. The
stfl
upstream did not modify the LGPLv3 at all. :) So, it is fine for Fedora.
Yippiieee, thank you :)
Have a good day :)
