Are there any license options for Dokan

[Tobes31415]

The Google-Code page for Dokan lists it as being under the GPL. Is it
possible to use Dokan under the MIT license? I would like to use it
in a project but I don't want to force my project to be under the GPL.

Here is the page I'm referring to:
http://code.google.com/p/dokan/

Dokan consts of several components:
dokan.sys (driver) : LGPL license
dokan.dll : LGPL license
dokanctrl.exe mounter.exe, sample programs etc : MIT license

LGPL means that if you change Dokan library itself, you have to publish
the change of Dokan library. And you don't need to open source your application.

Ahh, I didn't notice the "Lesser" portion, I thought it was pure GPL.

Thanks for the clarification :)

Hi,

What that means to publish the change of library? We can't update
code, do we have to provide updated DLL's on some public site or is it
enough if we send code changes to you? Or put changes here in public
forum?

Regards,
Slavko

Oh, did you need to change the Dokan library itself? If so, please make your
changes to Dokan library publicly accessible. (ex. provide zipped source code).
I'm curious what you changed.

Thanks,

FYI. Dokan.NET library is MIT license.
