Hi, that should be LGPLv2.1 and GPLv2. These are included in the administrator guide, but should be probably added to the tarball as well. Robert On 08/30/2011 05:33 AM, Yu Watanabe wrote:

Hello all.

I would like to ask question for the license of syslog-ng.

syslog-ng is licensed under the combination of the GPL and LGPL licenses.

The syslog-ng core (src/ subdirectory) is licensed under the Lesser General Public License as described in the file LGPL.txt

The syslog-ng modules (src/xxxx/ subdirectories) are licensed under the General Public License as described in the file GPL.txt

Would it be correct to understand as below? LGPL = LGPLv2.1 GPL = GNU General Public License, version 1

I couldn't find the both text in the tarball so asked this question.

Thanks! Yu

Each file contains a copyright header where it references the exact license that applies. We're using GPLv2+ license (e.g. that contains the "any later version" clause) and LGPLv2.1+ -- Bazsi
