Re: [boost] Can a Boost library use a component like GMP and mfpr that have a LGPL license ?

Huh, they basically exclude copy protection in the terms of their license? They require that it is still possible to debug the LGPLed library in the context of the combined work. If there's a debugger killer as part of the copy protection (and every effective CP needs one), that's obviously not possible.

In the case of DRM, the law in some countries requires to provide information for interoperability on demand anyway, so what the LGPL requires is actually required for any software in those countries.
