Joe pointed me to the thread on erlang-CZMQ and licensing.<br>
<br>
Just to clarify.<br>
<br>
CZMQ is not dual-licensed.<br>
<br>
The licensing on CZMQ is LGPLv3+static link exception, the same as<br>
libzmq and as most of the ZeroMQ projects. This license explicitly<br>
allows bundling of the compiled code with commercial applications<br>
under whatever license the user wants. It removes the LGPL/GPL<br>
requirements on such bundles (static links).<br>
<br>
This is what I'd recommend for erlang-CZMQ too. It means taking<br>
COPYING and COPYING.LESSER (since LGPLv3 is a patch on GPLv3) from<br>
CZMQ or libzmq.<br>
<br>
Mahesh is correct: without an explicit license, one cannot use a<br>
software project, unless one is the owner.<br>
<br>

Ps. native Erlang ZMTP would be fantastic. We've done this in Java and<br>
.NET, and it's been very positive for those communities.<br>
