= Mir License =

Mir is considered a foundation of the cross-form-factor
convergence story, and as such, Canonical wants to avoid platform
fragmentation issues as experienced on other (mobile) platforms, e.g.,
Android.

To this end, we license the actual server as GPLv3, thereby
enforcing Mir's position in its role as a system-level service.

However, to help GPU vendors and SOCs to add Mir driver support as
easily as possible, we license the Mir development libraries (both
client and server) under the less restrictive LGPLv3.
