@iska >a program (or rather a version of it) licensed under LGPL
Which LGPL version?

In most cases, the output of a program is based off the input that you provided, rather than having any copyright relation to the software, so if the output qualifies for copyright, you are usually the copyright holder: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#GPLOutput

One example is gcc, where you can compile C programs that are under any license.

One exception to the rule is when the output contains copyrighted software or media from the program, in that case the license on the software or media itself applies.


gcc generally includes the libstdc++ runtime when compiling C++ if I remember correctly, but there is an exception that allows even proprietary software to use the runtime.

If a program was to include png's in its output that are under CC-BY-NCvX licenses, the CC-BY-NCvX would apply to the png's in the output, but you could probably delete the png's.


If the developer decided to include software in the output for no real reason, the license on the software doesn't apply to merely aggregated data alongside the software - in that case you can probably delete the software and use only the data.


The Lesser GPL's are quite a lot weaker than the GPL's, as combination with proprietary software is allowed as long as certain conditions are met.

I need the version of the LGPL and the name and version of the software to come to a conclusion if the output is under CC-BY-NCvX or not.
