I'm building an app which relies heavily on the QOCI Oracle database driver which is distributed in the non-free version of QT, since the QOCI dirver is not distributed with the free version. The QOCI driver, I have noticed according to the source code, is considered LGPL.
The app I'm building will, to all intents and purposes, be considered free software, Im building it in my own time for non profit purposes. Once its stable enough, I will probably put it on GITHub and open it up for collaboration if anyone takes an interest. And also, probably, I would like to have a website where people can download pre-built or compilable versions of it.
How does the LGPL licence allow me to bundle the QOCI driver with my distribution package? I've tried getting my head around the requirements, but most of the jargon is targeted at commercial value, which Im staying away from. Basically, none of it makes sense, Im just looking at keeping things as simple as possible, both for me, the developer, and for any users out there who feel inclined to use it.
