What restrictions will the LGPL put on my code?

I want to use CxxTest for unit-testing in an application. I do not want to be forced to release source code or object files. The LGPL (under which CxxTest is released) is confusing on this issue.

Am I ok? Do I need to do something special?

Solution

  • From what I can see, you'll be alright with the LGPL, however,

    If it is a derivative work, then the terms must allow "modification for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications."
