GNU Lesser General Public License - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The GNU Lesser General Public License (formerly the GNU Library General Public License) is an FSF approved Free Software license designed as a compromise between the GNU General Public License and simple permissive licenses such as the BSD license and the MIT License. The LGPL is primarily intended for software libraries, although it is also used by applications such as OpenOffice.org and Mozilla. In 1999, Richard Stallman wrote an essay explaining why this was not the case, and that one shouldn't necessarily use the LGPL for libraries. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/LGPL   (585 words)

GK's C code: About the LGPL It is important to understand the difference between the LGPL and the GNU General Public License ("GPL"). Section 6 of the LGPL applies to this work as soon as you distribute it, saying that the derived work can be distributed "under the terms of your choice, provided that...", and goes on to describe the responsibilities of someone distributing the derived work. Most confusion about the LGPL revolves around this basic property: Section 6 of the LGPL constrains (mildly) how you distribute compiled software using a LGPL'd library, but because those constraints are not the same as the LGPL, the LGPL does not propagate itself in the same way that the GPL does. teem.sourceforge.net /lgpl.html   (1272 words)

[No title] And because one may freely distribute the LGPL covered files, the entire calc source may be freely used and distributed. The reason why calc was placed under the GNU Lesser General Public License is because for many years (1984 thru 1999), calc was offered without any form of Copyleft. At the time calc was placed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, a number of systems and distributions distributed calc without a Copyleft. www.isthe.com /chongo/src/calc/COPYING   (631 words)
