However, the server side links to the GPL-only library 'libsamplerate' which
|
2006-04-20 12:45:52 +00:00
|
|
|
practically downgrades the license of the server part to GPL (see file GPL for
|
|
|
|
|
details), exercising section 3 of the LGPL.

Hence you should treat the client library ('libpulse') of PulseAudio as being
|
2006-06-19 21:53:48 +00:00
|
|
|
LGPL licensed and the server part ('libpulsecore') as being GPL licensed. Since
|
|
|
|
|
the PulseAudio daemon and the modules link to 'libpulsecore' they are of course
|
2006-04-20 12:45:52 +00:00
|
|
|
also GPL licensed.
