License Clarification

[anpage]

Hello,

I'm working on a Rust reimplementation of MechWarrior 2 (which coincidentally was the origin of the Interstate 76 engine), and I need a way to replace Smacker.

Your bindings to libsmacker would help a lot in this department, but unfortunately, the GPL license in the root of this repo would be incompatible with my project because I'm doing a partial function-by-function replacement of the original code. I personally don't mind the GPL, but in this case, I don't have much of a choice.

Can you clarify whether the license in the repo root applies to all of the subprojects? And if so, would you consider a license for the libsmacker crates that would permit my use-case? libsmacker's own LGPL might be a good choice.

Thanks

libsmacker and libsmacker-sys in this repo is LGPL as is the original libsmacker. My understanding is that i76_rust being GPL doesn't change the fact that libsmacker et al is LGPL. Just pull that out of this project and you're good to go I guess? IANAL.
