Michael Brennan scripsit: > Maybe I should read the license. :-) Is "GPL-with-library-exception" the > same as LGPL? No; it's more like what people think LGPL is, but it really isn't. If you distribute a work using an LGPL'ed library, you have to distribute it in linkable form so that someone can upgrade the library. (If if it's a shared library/DLL, of course, that's what you do anyway.) It's simply an exception to the GPL. A programmer can publish something under the GPL, and add his own terms that let you, the recipient, do things the GPL would normally forbid. Exactly what is allowed depends on the details. -- John Cowan cowan@c... One art/there is/no less/no more/All things/to do/with sparks/galore --Douglas Hofstadter
