	GPL linking exception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on this library.
		If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not obliged to do so.
		With this exception, software licensed like this can be linked with any software, free or not.

	FSF - Frequently Asked Questions about the GNU GPL
		The GPL requires the maker of a version to place his or her name on it, to distinguish it from other versions and to protect the reputations of other maintainers.
		However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
		As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the GNU General Public License.

	FSF - Licenses
		GPL because it has many requirements that are not in the GPL.
		The GPL is not a member of that class, so the Jabber license does not permit relicensing under the GPL.
		As a special exception, you have permission to link this program with the FOO library and distribute executables, as long as you follow the requirements of the GNU GPL in regard to all of the software in the executable aside from FOO.

		Linking ABC statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on ABC.
		In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of ABC give you permission to combine ABC program with free software programs or libraries that are released under the GNU LGPL and with code included in the standard release of DEF under the XYZ license (or modified versions of such code, with unchanged license).
		In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders of ABC give you permission to combine ABC program with free software programs or libraries that are released under the GNU LGPL and with independent modules that communicate with ABC solely through the ABCDEF interface.

		The GPL is too limiting for developers and does not allow for the spread of information freely.
		The BSD license is truely free and before people say that the GPL insures that the program remains free for life, the original BSD code will still be available if somebody else modifies it.
		I don't care if the "freedom as in GPL" is the real freedom (what is a real freedom anyway?) but it serves its goal, and that's fine.

	DotGNU Project - FAQ
		The terms of the GNU GPL also require you to make a written promise to this "owner of the data" that you will be willing to provide the source code upon request.
		For Libraries which are intended to be linked with third-party programs that may not have a GPL-compatible license, as a special exception such linking is allowed.
		We call this the "GPL plus linking exception", which is also used by the GNU Classpath project.

		Classpath is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License with the following clarification and special exception.
		As such, it can be used to run, create and distribute a large class of applications and applets.
		Originally, all our documentation was released under a short Copyleft license, or under the GNU General Public License (GPL) itself; in 2001 the Free Documentation License (FDL) was created to address certain needs that were not met by licenses originally designed for software.

		Note: on this document I have ommited exception environments handling for the sake of explaining the technology.
		You could use the metadata library from Mono to read the byte codes (ie, this would be your "front-end") and generate the trees that get passed to the optimizer.
		Ideally our implementation of the CLI will be available as a shared library that could be linked with your application as its runtime support.

	Re: OT: Licensing Java code (was Tests)
		Java is quickly becoming the choice of big companies for their apps; and GPL is almost never a correct licence for code from companies.
		I think it's better than LGPL at that, since the LGPL is very specific when it talks about linking mechanisms, whereas the GPL uses more generic, copyright terms.
		So I think GPL + linking exception is a very nice license for library code, and a better one than the LGPL.

	SableVM Wiki: License FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A: The short answer is: The license of SableVM (LGPL) was specifically chosen as to maximize your ability to legally link and run popular applications, such as Eclipse (http://eclipse.org) and Ant (http://ant.apache.org), which are licensed in ways which might conflict with the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
		This would have the unfortunate consequence of disallowing the linking (and thus execution) of applications licensed under terms that conflict with the GNU GPL.
		The version of Kaffe currently available at http://www.kaffe.org/ is a derivative of the one licensed under the terms of GNU GPL by Transvirtual.

	Synopsis on what DotGNU Is - OSNews.com
		The Portable.NET project uses a modified GPL license that contains a special linking exception that makes it possible to develop both open and closed source applications, so corporations and friendly ISVs need not fear here.
		The modified license is commonly referred to as "GPL plus linking exception." This mouthful of a license is also used by the GNU Classpath project.
		The CVM format and its significant advantages are way beyond the scope of this article, however, and discovering this "language" will be an exercise left up to the reader.

		I think you can "pull a Linus" and say that your program is GPL, but you allow linking to the non-commercial Qt.
		Similarly, if you develop a new application with the Qt non-commercial edition and wish to license it under the GPL you may wish to add such an exception to your license.
		As a special exception, gives permission to link this program with Qt non-commercial edition, and distribute the resulting executable, without including the source code for the Qt non-commercial edition in the source distribution.

	GNU Classpath - TheBestLinks.com - Free software, Free Software Foundation, GPL, Java programming language, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		GNU Classpath is an attempt to create a free implementation of the standard class library for Java.
		GNU Classpath is used by many Free Software Java Virtual Machine projects (like Kaffe, SableVM, and GCJ) because every full-featured Java Virtual Machine must provide an implementation of the standard class libraries.
		You can add this article to your own "watchlist" and receive e-mail notification about all changes in this page.

		And nearly everything was fine (Struts does not seem to work, but all the servlet examples did work, and every JSP examples did work except two: one because the mail api was not in the tomcat classpath and the other because of an exception in org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service...
		I think it was the same exception that occured with Struts. JDEE for Emacs seems very bounded to proprietary JDK's but I'd like to investigate a little more to have it working with free JDK's as I use it for sometimes now and I'm very happy with it.
		He agreed the FSF to be the copyright holder of his classes and to change the license to GPL+linking exception!

	Re: [kaffe] Planning for 1.1.2 release - XAWT obsolete?
		This was the best awt implemenation I´ve every seen, and I dont understand why gnu-classpath isnt based on this awt.
		Classpath is GPL + linking exception, kaffe is GPL, so Classpath can not include code from Kaffe.
		The author of kaffe's AWT, Transvirtual, doesn't exist anymore, so there is noone who can transfer their copyright to the FSF anyway.

		Nice detects more errors during compilation than existing object-oriented languages (null pointer accesses, casts exceptions).
		The compiler needs a JVM version 1.2 or higher to run.
		The runtime classes are licensed under the "GPL + linking exception" license, which means that libraries and programs written in Nice can be licensed under any terms.

		Open Sourcing Java would not have to change that, if they dual-licensed Java.
		Their implementation of Java would have two licenses, the GPL with Linking exception (see GNU Classpath for more information) and a Sun proprietary license.
		The GPLed version allows you to to fork the GPLed code, but you can't get your changes into the Sun reference implementation unless you agree to both licenses.
