Hello, Harald,
I am reusing the libosmovty in my program. And hence my program must
have the same license (AGPL-3.0), mustn't it?
libosmovty is not AGPL-3.0, but licensed under GNU GPL v2 or later. You
can use any compatible license, such as (not exhaustive) GPLv2, GPLv3,
AGPLv3, LGPLv2.1, LGPLv3, MIT/X, BSD, MPL 2.0, ... see for example
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
Also, the question regarding the copyright message in
the terminal:
Should I leave the "Copyright (C) 201* by Harald Welte..." string or
should I add my name and company there alongside yours. Or can I just
leave my name there?
The copyright message is part of host.app_info->copyright, i.e. provided
by the application. libosmovty doesn't print a message itself, so you
do not need to attribute me or any other libosmovty authors (mainly
Kuninhiro Ishiguro).
Good luck with libosmovty! I don't think we have many users outside of
Osmocom so far. May I ask what your program is doing/implementing?
Regards,
Harald
