Licensing a Code
 
Hi all,

Ive written a code using OpenCV. OpenCV is BSD licensed.
What is the procedure to make the code (that ive written) LGPL? Is it possible?

Yes, that is possible. What would not be possible would be to link statically GPL code in your BSD code. linking BSD code in GPL code is no problem.
Here is the full text explaining how to do that:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
basically, you just have to paste the licensing text in your code (as a comment)
