           Summary: Inconsistent license in bfl
           Product: BFL
           Version: trunk
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: bfl [..] 
        ReportedBy: francois [..] 
                CC: bfl [..] 
   Estimated Hours: 0.0

I noticed that there were different licenses in the source code of BFL, I would
expect that the license is GPL + exception ([1],[2]), but only the following
files have that license, the rest of the files state that they are LGPL:

./bfl/src/pdf/conditionalpdf.h
./bfl/src/pdf/mcpdf.h
./bfl/src/pdf/pdf.h
./bfl/src/pdf/discretepdf.h
./bfl/src/smoother/particlesmoother.h
./bfl/src/smoother/backwardfilter.h
./bfl/src/filter/particlefilter.h
./bfl/src/filter/bootstrapfilter.h
./bfl/src/filter/optimalimportancefilter.h
./bfl/src/filter/filter.h
./bfl/src/filter/asirfilter.h
./bfl/src/sample/weightedsample.h
./bfl/src/sample/sample.h
./bfl/src/model/systemmodel.h
./bfl/src/model/measurementmodel.h

But the question is: Why do you apply the GPL+exception to discretepdf.h and
not to the gaussian.h? I would expect that only pdf.h is gpl?

That seems a different bugreport than the original one :-)

> I would expect that only pdf.h is gpl?

As discretepdf is no template code, I guess it should be LGPL indeed.

@tinne: while looking at the license code, I noticed that the licence statement

of discretepdf.h mentions both GPL and LGPL as a license, which seems incorrect
too.

I will check the licenses.
