Actually there is no "special cases", there is "special exception" (which I included in my proposal, that you snipped away but I repeat it below), and there is "proprietary license". Then there are some files that have a "public domain" option, but since the package links with a whole lot more than just those files, it's not relevant for the overall license. Therefore: PHYSFS_LICENSE = zlib license (physfs), LGPLv2.1 with exceptions (lzma) Regards, Arnout -- Arnout Vandecappelle arnout at mind be Senior Embedded Software Architect +32-16-286500 Essensium/Mind http://www.mind.be G.Geenslaan 9, 3001 Leuven, Belgium BE 872 984 063 RPR Leuven LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/arnoutvandecappelle GPG fingerprint: 7493 020B C7E3 8618 8DEC 222C 82EB F404 F9AC 0DDF
