Re: LGPL v3 compatibilty (original) (raw)

The whole point behind LGPL is that the LGPL library must be independently distributable, and independently upgradeable. If your program is GPL (any version), then it is compatible with any LGPL library (any version).

I think you forgot to preface this with the disclaimers "I am not a lawyer", "I am not a DD", "I don't speak for the FSF", "I don't even bother to read the other analyses of GPLv2/LGPLv3 interaction that have been posted to this list", and "this is legal advice that I have no business dispensing to people on a Debian mailing list".
