This crate provides the LGPL source of libftdi
for libftdi1-sys[vendored]
.
If your dependency tree includes this crate, your final binary likely includes LGPL-licensed code.
If you're not sure whether that's acceptable for your use case, please consult your lawyer.
The only reason this is a separate crate is to provide correct licensing metadata
because libftdi1-sys
is permissively licensed, while the vendored source is LGPL.
You should not depend on it directly.
Version X.Y.Z
of this crate is interpreted as "libftdi X.Y
, crate revision Z".
As a result, it may not follow SemVer if libftdi
ever breaks it.
Thus libftdi1-sys
uses strict version dependencies like =1.4.0
.
Note that the repository refers to the libftdi
repository as a submodule,
and that repository contains code under multiple licenses including GPL.
The crate package, however, takes care to include only LGPL components.
