Note that libsensors falls under the GPL, not the LGPL.
In more human language, that means it is FORBIDDEN to link any application
to the library, even to the shared version, if the application itself
does not fall under the GPL. This may or may not be changed in the future.
Contact us if you wish to discuss your application.
Note that since version 3.2.0, libsensors falls under the LGPL, not the
GPL as it used to. In more human language, that means it is now ALLOWED
to link any application to the library, even to the shared version,
regardless of the application's license.
For examples of programs using libsensors accesses, see prog/sensors and
prog/sensord.
