Re: [pygame] Licensing



um... thanks but we're talking about licensing pygame projects, not the python codebase.

I notice LGPL is used on a lot of pygame projects.  Is that because
pygame itself uses LGPL?  It makes sense for pygame to use LGPL because
it's a huge, widely used library but it's not apparent as to why the

Yes, the fact that pygame, and python are both LGPL is a main reason why
many pygame games are LGPL.


Python is not LGPL - read http://www.python.org/psf/license/
In general - it is BSD-like in the way that you may use source or binaries
in any way you want and don't have to disclose your modifications, but you
should preserve the copyrights.
