Johan Känngård LGPL’ed his LotusScript Collection classes – nice… :-)

Some time back Johan chose to change the license of his very nice LotusScript collection classes from no license to GPL. This was a problem for me since we use the classes in a wide range of applications. GPL doesn’t allow the code to be included in a non-GPL application.

I wrote Johan and asked whether he really wanted this or whether he would consider changing the license to LGPL instead (LGPL allows you to incorporate the code in closed-source applications). Johan agreed that LGPL would be better so he will change the license when he get around to it.

Very nice. Thank you Johan.
