Hello,
I'm struggling with several OSS licenses and especially with their compatibility to each other, so i need the wisom of the arch community once again:
I'm thinking about writing a plugin for a GPLv2-only(!) software. This plugin would use a library that i also want to create, which would need to use librarys under the Apache License V2.
As far as I've understood, the Apache license cannot be used with the GPLv2 - even if only linking with it.
Is it a possible solution to release my library (containing the apache libraries) under the LGPLv2.1 and then using it in my plugin (which would be under GPLv2-or-later)? Would the combination of the software, my plugin and my library turn the license into GPLv2 and so not being legal?
I hope someone of you can help me to wrap my head around this.
Regards
VR
EDIT: I think i've found a possible solution here. If i add this to my plugin's license (GPLv2) it doesn't change the license of my library (LGPLv2) and so the code under the apache license can then be used under it's own license - am I correct?
