	GNU General Public License - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was based on a unification of similar licenses used for early versions of GNU Emacs, the GNU Debugger and the GNU Compiler Collection.
		In some Common Law jurisdictions, the legal distinction between a license and a contract is an important one: contracts are enforceable by contract law, whereas the GPL, as a license, is enforced under the terms of copyright law.
		One such example of a license of that variety is the Open Public License.

	GNU Lesser General Public License - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was designed as a compromise between the strong-copyleft GNU General Public License and simple permissive licenses such as the BSD licenses and the MIT License.
		GNU itself is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix".
		The GNU Lesser General Public License was written in 1991 (and updated in 1999) by Richard Stallman, with legal advice from Eben Moglen.

		GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
		For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
		Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

	Open Source Initiative OSI - The LGPL: Licensing
		This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.
		Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.
		For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

		GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), but occasionally we use other free software licenses.
		The GNU Free Documentation License is a form of copyleft intended for use on a manual, textbook or other document to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifications, either commercially or noncommercially.
		In the GNU Project, the specific distribution terms that we use are contained in the GNU General Public License, the GNU Lesser General Public License and the GNU Free Documentation License.

	OSS Watch - The GNU General Public License - An Overview
		The GNU General Public License (GPL for short) is the most commonly used open source licence.
		The GNU project (short for GNU's Not UNIX) began in 1984, when Richard Stallman, a programmer working at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, decided that he would like to create a collection of software which could be distributed and adapted freely, without restrictive proprietary licensing.
		Although the basic principles of free software were established early on in the GNU project, it was not until 1989 that they were distilled into a licence that could be easily taken up and applied to any piece of software by its owner.

	GPLv3 Draft — GPLv3
		This License does not attempt to enforce your terms, or assert that they are valid or enforceable by you; it simply does not prohibit you from employing them.
		This patent license is nonexclusive, royalty-free and worldwide, and covers all patent claims you control or have the right to sublicense, at the time you distribute the covered work or in the future, that would be infringed or violated by the covered work or any reasonably contemplated use of the covered work.
		For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution.
