Could someone please clarify the situation with eigen3. eigen3 is
licensed under GPL-2+ or LGPL-3.0+. I believe for building proprietary
app the LGPL-3.0+ license is more adapted. Reading it reveals :
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html#section3
and
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html#section4

It looks as if template code from eigen3 (vesEigen.*) is being used
with more than just 10 lines of code. correct ?

If so does this means that the whole VES is released under a more
restrictive GPL-2+ or LGPL-3+ compared to the Apache 2.0 (not a a big
deal to build shared libs, but just need confirmation).

Thanks for clarifications,

Mathieu
