License: LGPL vs. Apache?

Open zsup opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Although the Particle firmware libraries are LGPL (and for at least part of the stack this is necessary, as Arduino/Wiring itself is LGPL), I might advocate for the Rust-y parts of this implementation that will be new to be published under a more liberal Apache license (wherever possible). Discuss.

Rust uses MIT/Apache-2 dual licensing. It might make sense to match that. The question is whether it's legal to integrate that with the LGPL libraries by Particle through static linking...

I second @dbrgn.
