Canonical's Mir already has an LGPL license

A few hours ago version 0.26 of Mir, Canonical's graphical server and the Ubuntu guys were released. This new version brings great improvements regarding the API, which will allow developers to create programs for this graphical server, but the most interesting thing is not this but its new software license.

This year will be launched the first stable version of MIR and this graphic server will not only not be proprietary but will have the LGPL license, a license that is not perfect for many but at least it is more free than the first information that was given at the time.

LGPL is a type of recent software license which is basically the same as GPL but with the difference that it can use proprietary software to create the final productwhile the GPL license can only be applied to software whose parts are or are GPL.

From now on you can work with MIR thanks to its LGPL license

Ubuntu and Canonical have long sought to have a new and more powerful graphics server than the current Xorg. They first thought of opting for Wayland, something that they discarded due to slow development and decided to create their own, MIR. Many members of the Ubuntu community they rejected the idea not only because of the work it involved but also because of the type of license it had. And it seems that the latter will stop being a problem or at least it seems with the new version of MIR.

In any case, MIR is not stable yet and therefore we will not be able to use it in production equipment, although we can use it in virtual machines or in equipment that we do not use every day. Now with this change Will hostilities towards MIR continue? Will any more distributions adopt MIR instead of Wayland? What do you think?
