What is the difference between the GPL and the LGPL?
The main difference between the GPL and the LGPL is that the latter allows the work to be linked with (in the case of a library, “used by”) a non-(L)GPLed program, regardless of whether it is licensed under a license of GPL family or other licenses.
Can you use an LGPL-licenced library in your commercial app?
It should also be possible to exchange that dynamically linked library for an independently compiled build. Otherwise you have likely intertwingled the library and main application code. The LGPL license allows an application that references the binaries to remain closed-source.
Can you use GPL and LGPL at the same time?
Some library authors therefore provide licenses that are both GPL or LGPL and also paid private licenses. Therefore, I can get the library, fully integrate it and test it (and even modify it) before deciding, yes, this works, and then pay for a license to distribute that isn’t GPL or LGPL.
What do I need to do if I use a LGPL licensed?
57 LGPL’s basic requirement is to separate the LGPL-licensed library and your own productwell enough. That should allow users to supply their own version of the library instead of the one you’ve shipped with your software (with the bugs fixed, for instance).
Can You co-mingle lbgl and LGPL libraries?
You can’t co-mingle your code and LBGL libraries (static linking does co-mingle the result). As long as you don’t change the LGPL libraries you don’t have to distribute any source – at most just provide a link to the distribution of choice.
