License

While libzmq is license under LGPL, is has a linking exception, which means that this crate does not need to conform to the usual LGPL conditions. Indeed this crate does not modify the source code in any way and simply allows linking to libzmq. To quote from the zeromq website:

ZeroMQ is safe for use in close-source applications. The LGPL share-alike terms do not apply to applications built on top of ZeroMQ. You do not need a commercial license. The LGPL applies to ZeroMQ's own source code, not your applications. Many commercial applications use ZeroMQ.

Thus this project is effectively licensed under either of

• Apache License, Version 2.0, (LICENSE-APACHE or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
• MIT license (LICENSE-MIT or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

at your option.

Acknowledgments

• Based on openssl-src
