Hey I've been working for a bit on trying to create an OSS solution for creating LZX-compressed cabinets, and got one working with a fork of Wine's cabinet DLL based on a heavily-modified fork of wimlib's LZX compressor: https://github.com/elasota/liblzx
I've been looking at merging the changes back to Wine, but Wine is LGPLv2-licensed and wimlib is LGPLv3-licensed, so it can't currently be accepted.
So, I wanted to ask if you would be willing to permit the modified LZX compressor (that is, only the code/derivatives used in this subtree: https://github.com/elasota/liblzx/tree/ ... a84/liblzx) as LGPLv2 instead.
Licensing LZX compressor as LGPLv2 for integration to Wine?

Yes, that's fine with me. You can use the LZX code under LGPLv2. Thanks!
