Lua License

["Nick Trout" <nick@...>]

Hi,
Since the issue of licensing has raised I'd just like to check that the Lua
license is compatible with the LGPL license. I think VisLua will be LGPL
providing the other contributors agree and it is compatible.
LGPL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lgpl.html

I get the impression that noone knows whether they a really compatible! :-)
However, as long as Lua's license is not breached, broadly speaking: you give
the authors credit, leave existing copyright and license notices, and say if
you modified anything, everything is okay.
Lua license: http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/lua/copyright.html

Are there any licenses (ie. other than LGPL) that the authors prefer?

John Belmonte has already delved into the problem a little on the wiki:

Regards,
Nick
