Comment (by ericmcarson):

 Cehoyos, I am not randomly closing tickets. I am marking the issue as
 fixed, just as it is resolved. Your ticket reads that Digimetrics'
 software violates the GPL, which it does not in the current distributed
 form. Additionally, Digimetrics' software is not violating the LGPL. Your
 compliance checklist contains items that are not required by the LGPL.
 Please see my previous comment:

 We appreciate you think the checklist is a good idea, but Digimetrics has
 licensed the LGPL, not the checklist, and has been advised by our legal
 counsel that we do not need to comply with the checklist except to the
 extent that the checklist requires items that specifically appear in the
 LGPL. '''If there is a particular section of the LGPL that you believe is
 violated, please identify it so we can know the basis for your complaint.
