All,

this is a fairly important point for all people that are using
this code in proprietary products:
You may use the library in your projects, but if you
change it (e.g. if you have found and fixed a bug :-) then you
will have to release that code also under LGPL.

So: please notify us (the maintainers) here on this list so
that we can incorporate any bugfixes/performance enhancements/
new features into the main project, so that everyone can benefit
from it.

Also: the example programs that come with sctplib are under
the normal GPL.
Fo copies of LGPL see http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html and
for copies of GPL see http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

If you do not understand it, ask a lawyer :->
The final 1.0.0 release of the SCTPLB project will contain copies
of both licenses.

Regards,
Andreas
