[libreplanet-discuss] [3D printing] Cura engine, from AGPL to LGPL (was: [3D printing] Cura engine to relicence from AGPL to GPL)

Interesting...

At a *very first/quick* look, the change to LGPL seems to be bad,
specially because the derivative work doesn't have to keep the same
license, unless it adapts/touches the original work itself.
