What is the decisive difference between LGPL(v3) and AGPL(v3) ?Both can be used in commercial production, both can also be packed within a payed product. As long as I do not change the source code of these, I am not forced to enclose the source code with my product.So where lies the eminent difference?(Asked this also at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10996160/the-decisive-difference-between-lgpl-and-agpl, but a user suggested to ask it here.)
the decisive difference between LGPL and AGPL
licensing;gpl;lgpl;agpl
roughly, as long as you application isn't just a wrapper around the library:LGPL: you can link against and don't have to release source code as long as you don't modify the library itselfGPL: you have to release source code if you link against and distribute the binary, but don't if you just provide a serviceAGPL: you have to allow the source to be downloaded even if you never distribute the binary but do provide a servicei.e. your understanding of the LGPL is probably correct but your understanding of the AGPL is very wrongas always if you want proper advice for your use-case you need to hire a lawyer
