[This message has been brought to you via pear.php.net.] Hi. I would be happy if you could help me answer a question I have about the LiveUser license since after reading the lgpl, I wasn't that much wiser :). I have an upcoming project for a client that develops a ordering system for a customer. The customer also wants a web-interface for their users to login to their accounts and modify profiles and such. I want to use LiveUser for the auth/perm part but I'm unsure if I can since the client wants to pay me for the job and after that he owns the source code i developed. So my question is.. can I include LiveUser or not? :) I'm sorry if I shouldn't mail you directly about this but instead use the mailing list.

Yes, all licenses in PEAR allow you to integrate the code into closed source proprietary applications if you leave the source of the PEAR libraries unmodified and not remove the credits. If you do modify the source code on LGPL packages all that you are required to do is license those changes to that client under the LGPL as well. regards, Lukas
