Non-GNU based Getopts for Java?
Hi all,

I'm looking for a version of Getopts for Java that isn't licensed under the GPL and accepts long options (i.e. both -h and --help).
My code is licensed under BSD and I don't really want to change that just because a module uses the GPL...

Thanks,
Ben

Do you mean this version? It's licensed under the LPGL, which means that it may be included in differently licensed software (even proprietary), but you must include a notice that it's included and have to provide a copy of the source on request. But IANAL, so this might not be 100% correct.

I'm pretty sure that's correct, Pludi. For that reason it used to be known as the "library GPL".

Thank pludi,

I did not know it was licensed under the LGPL, I could only see mention of GPL and GNU and thought it was licensed under the full thing...
