From 4ec5bc584c27c333f74eca524de5a0839c983935 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Jarosch Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2026 01:18:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] LICENSE: Clarify the main ftdi lib is LGPL v2.1 only A friendly lawyer contacted me in 2020 and pointed out that the license information in the readme files of libftdi didn't match the source code. The main library source code had been LGPL v2.1 since the initial commit, so adjust the LICENSE file accordingly. No idea how this went by undetected for so long. The SPDX license tags added in 2019 are correct already. --- LICENSE | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index 9f6703c..d6d9198 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ The C library "libftdi1" is distributed under the -GNU Library General Public License version 2. +GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. -A copy of the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL) is included +A copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) is included in this distribution, in the file COPYING.LIB. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 1.7.1
