IANAL :)
As I read the LGPL, if you use and distribute the edtFTPnet DLL in your application in the same form in which it is made available - i.e. you don't include the code in your app but merely link to and re-distribute the DLL as you received it - you are fine. You are just a work that uses the library, and hence the various LGPL conditions do not apply to you.
If you are in any doubt and it is a big deal for you, you can purchase a perpetual license that allows you to use the code in pretty much anyway you wish - and it will cost you less than consulting a lawyer. It is also cheaper (and better) than most commercial FTP libraries, and you get the source too.

Purchases of the non-GPL license do help us to keep developing the library and are appreciated.
It is a little onerous using the LGPL (but if it were the GPL you couldn't use the library in commercial software at all), but it does help to encourage people to contribute fixes and suggestions.
Hi,
I have read the GNU LGPL many times over and I still dont know what requirements I have to fulfill. I am using the library in my C#.NET commercial application and not modifying the library. So does my application fall under Section 6 because I am linking my "work that uses the Library" with the library. If not, what section does it fall under?
I'm sorry if this question was asked before, I just cant understand the license.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can give me some advice.
Tomas
